'No Parachute'

[Ginger.]

What a cracking good read. Can't imagine some of those letters home did Mrs. Gould Lee's blood pressure any good!

Probably not >>>> But then, who had a parachute.

Toppers,
that very subject gets a good mention, not surprisingly one totally opposite to the official 'they'll all bale out in a stiff fight' bullshit.
Lee and his Squadron mates take on it was that they would be even more aggressive in attack if they knew there was a fighting chance of surviving a break up or a flamer .
