This reminds of the british not allowing there pilots to use parachutes in the First World war as it "may impair the fighting spirit of pilots and cause them to abandon machines which might otherwise be capable of returning to base for repair."

A Pilot Major Mick Mannock once said he carried a revolver "to finish myself as soon as I see the first signs of flames."

Makes you wonder the logic of the people who lead the armed forces back then!
