Re: Collapsing of parachutes as sport ?

Hello,

I've heard from a Regia Aeronautica veteran who flew several resque mission over the Mediterranean with a CantZ506 that his crew recovered several dead pilots at sea... and that they were shoot after bailing out...
He also claimed that RAF pilots used to shoot at resque planes with the RED CROSS...

I don't think that collapsing chutes was a sport... and I think it would be offensive to the pilot who did it and had to live with it... I can't immagine of a man in uniform killing for fun...

I don't blame the RAF pilots... that's war... and they didn't hide between their coscience...
