we can discuss about that... You know that allied pilots WEREN'T allowed to use parachutes because the HQ thought that a pilot with parachute would left the plane too early in an unhappy situation ?
So a pilot were "forced" to save the plane or be killed. This was because in WW1 the allied haven't shortage of men and machines.
In WW2 it was the opposite. Parachutes greatly help England in the (air) battle of Britain. There were a shortage of pilots, and a lot of shot down men could continue to fight against german aviators when they saved their-self with parachute.
War is a fact of numbers. |
