DAMAGED PILOT SAVES SUBURB
Londoners who saw a Hurri- cane side-slipping over their hends during a recent week-end did not know that the pilot was battling to save their lives.
In the Hurricane a pilot offi- cer, who could have saved him- self much earlier by jumping, | was striving to prevent his machine from crashing on to houses.
A few minutes earlier it had been hit by an explosive shell from a Messerschmitt. Gliding away from the enemy the pilot prepared to bale out. Then he saw that he was over a thickly populated district. Sooner! than take the risk of his pilotless machine crashing into houses he de- cided to try to land in open country. In An Empty Field
By this time oll was spraying in a thick sheet from the engine, but by a series of violent side-slips the pilot managed to get the flames under control. Eventually he landed safe- ly with wheels up in an empty field. The plot officer had sent an M.E.109 crushing in flames before he himself was hit.
