Pieces of paper thrown out of a Me 109

Hello,

In the Personal Combat Report written by a Spitfire pilot who shot down a Me 109 in August 1944, it was told :

" ... I observed the E/A's hood fly off and the pilot searching around his cockpit. He threw out about 30 small pieces of paper and then baled out at 800 ft over the back of his aircraft ..."

I wonder what these "small pieces of paper" could be ... somebody have an idea ?

Thanks

Pierre
