 The
pilot in this aircraft accident, had seen the previous picture,
and though it was a real hot day he had a jacket on. He ran off
the end of the runway, sheared the nose gear, and jumped out of
the cockpit and not having practiced egress, fell in a pool of the
burning fuel, which burned the sleeves almost completely out of
the jacket. The flight surgeon said without the jacket,
he would have been a double arm amputee, which is a
lot worse than looking at that gory picture.
This
was my first
of many life
saving testimonials.
