hi all,

It is well known that the RFC/RAF were not issued with parachutes during WW1 due to the opinions of those in authority who did not have to fly in combat.

When after WW1 was this policy changed and were there any official reasons given?

And I wonder what the opinions of those who survived were to the post war change of policy??

Regards,
Viscount
