Re: Pieces of paper thrown out of a Me 109

Yes i'm with Dan on this, young pilot fresh out of training, taught from day one to destroy all documents and aircraft in the event of a crash landing behind enemy lines. Looks like he went into auto pilot, thats what training is all about, no thinking just acting as taught.
Also to consider is when the hood was jettisoned any loose papers,maps etc would have been sucked out by the slipstream. Try leaving some paper on your car seat and open both front windows at 80mph !
