As we all know pilots in the R.F.C were not issued with parachutes as it was feared the pilots would use them when not actually needed (the exact qoute eludes me @ the moment)my question for debate is if the pilots had have been issued with parachutes would we have perhaps seen more aces, as pilots would know they were able to take greater risks in the hunt as if it were to go "tits up" there would be greater chance of survival, therefore in theory perhaps creating better and moer secure pilots????
