Re: Russian Pilot Baleouts

Hello
in Finnish combat reports there are numerous instances in which Soviet pilot had bailed out. In fact in Soviet planes pilot protection was important, Soviet Union was one of the first to adopt for example back armour for pilot, before Luftwaffe and RAF, IIRC and definitely before the Finnish AF.
