Re: Pilots & emergency parachuting
And there those who didn't like to parachute from their a/c. Horst Carganico was one of those. He made 2 successful forced landings northern Russia, but the 3rd forced landing, on 27 May 44, was unsuccessful and he died.
One reason for this might be that the 109 had problems in jettisoning its canopy. And there are reports from 1942 and 1943 on tests to improve the system.
