... very interesting.
Yeah, must be the very fortunate pilot next to the wreck - good reason to be smiling in the photograph.
German statistics and allied records both seem to agree that the highest number of Bf-109 pilots were lost in crashes at take-off or landing.
I wonder if the Nazis could have won the Battle of Britain with a reasonable number of losses at airfields instead of many ? What about other theatres of operation ?
....hummm.
