This Bailing-Out Needs System To . “Happy Landing”

LONDON, April 26 -—(CP) —"'I‘he crew baled out." It's a simple sen- tence but for ever airmen It. holds a wealth of mean ng.

"Ballng out" is a process ss com- plicated as it is dramatic. When the captain of a Royal Air Force aircraft decides there is nothing else to be clone he warns his crew with the words, “prepare to aban- don aircraft." He then llgnals to the tail-gunner by making s. mag- nesium loaded bulb flash in the rear turret.

This is acknowledged both vocal- ly and by a small signal lamp. The crew then waits for tne final or- der, “abandon aircraft....ready . ready . .50."

The ta -gunner leaves first, fol- lowed by the wireless operator, the observer, the second pilot and, last- ly, the captain. They go either through the escape hatch or the side door.

When his rear-gunner goes "over the side" he first reaches behind him for his parachute, clamping it on to two hooks on his chest. Then he lifts the escapehatch. at the some tbne taking off his helmet and so getting himself free of the flex of the litter-communication system.

G0 Feet First

If he takes s, header or has his legs curled he will probably go somersaulting down and get tangled up in the cords of the parachute. So he is careful to go feet first. with his legs straight. He has no sensation of fallin. and after count- ing three he pulEs the rip-cord.

Immediately a miniature para- chute flies out, and if the gunner does not hold his head well back he may get a. blow on the jaw, when the small parachute is caught by the wind and drags out the main ‘chute,

A jerk on his shoulders tells him that the parachute is open, There is still hardly any sensation of movement; he feeLs suspended in the air. but the noise of the on- gines has gone and there is com- plete pence and silence.

By reaching up and manipulat- ing the cords he can “spill" the air from the parachute and guide his descent. When he reaches the ground he feels about as much shock as would be felt. after jump- ing from a 10-foot wall. There is always the chance of getting o. bad sprain. Oi‘ he may hurt a rib if the parachute drugs him along the ground.

To come down successfully in the sen needs skill and presence of mind. The feet hit the water first and the body goes straight down. The jumper must act swiftly lo get his harness off and dive under- neath the canopy of the parachute. Then there will be either a swim to land or a long cold wait until he is picked up.
