With a class of 15yr olds today we were preparing for a trip to the Somme next week. On the subject of aviators the question of parachutes came up. We see from the site that some pilots had parachutes but some met their death when it didn't open.
Did all pilots have parachutes? Weren't they bulky? Just how easy was it to escape from a falling plane?
