Remarkably, right up until the end of the First World War, most aviators didn't fly into combat with parachutes. Reasons for this were the belief (by many) that parachutes were un-chivalrous. Others chose not to use them simply because parachutes hadn't been perfected; they were bulky and unreliable.
Therefore, if an aircraft caught fire (and many did!) during a fight, many brave aviators had to make the horrible choice between jumping from an aircraft at altitude or slowly burning to death. This picture captures the final moments of a young Sopwith Camel pilot who has lost his fight with the enemy and has chosen to jump from his burning crate over the French countryside. The victor (not depicted) watches his victim's fate from above and wonders what choice he would have made under the circumstances. And prays he will never have to.
