I realize the following question may be difficult or impossible to answer--did Hugo's final r/t communique or post-crash examination of his Fw 190 and/or his corpse reveal any clues as to why Frey wasn't able to escape his stricken a/c? Of course, numerous reasons exist--pilot pinned by spinning forces, pilot too wounded to effect an evacuation, pilot trapped by fire, jammed canopy, or other forces, among others--that may remain undetected by post-crash exam. The reason for my possibly unusual question is I find eerily interesting that Frey was able to radio his situation with probable knowledge of his doom, yet not able to do anything to alter his fate.

Thanks,
Ken
