A newbies impression of the 109 and spit

[Crumpp]

Obviously a pilot would not or only in dispair engage in a manoeuver that he would be certain to break his plane with. Nevertheless his plane might not have broken up against all odds, if he was really lucky.

Absolutely. Failure points are a range and outliers exist. You can be a lottery winner on either end of that range.

I am sure every poor soul who has looped his aircraft into the ground was hoping to be a lottery winner in the last moments of their life.
