In the history of air warfare during the Second World War several times one pilot helped his companion by landing on the ground and taking a friend to his own cockpit. A good example is the history of S/L Eugeniusz “Dziubek” Horbaczewski during the battle of Normandy in 1944. However, one of the first “evacuations” in a such way had taken place a few years before, hundreds kilometers from Normandy in a place which we know as Ethiopia. Moreover, a plane that carried two pilots was Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Trop. and the airfield was in enemy’s hands.
