Ditched fighter pilot survivability
How did German life vests compared with Allied Mae Wests? Could either really keep the 150kg weight of a pilot wearing water saturated sheep fleece lined leather flying kit & boots afloat in the sea? Were fighters of either side equipped with dinghys? Did the Germans have rescue radio bleepers? Once the pilot had landed in the water, what was the survival procedure? How did he extricate himself from his parachute & harness before being pulled under?
