Hans Marsielle was killed when bailing out of his 109 by hitting the verticle fin. You didn't have to open the door, the whole thing came off. And there were two, one on each side. Bailing of ANY fighter is risky and dangereous. If your canopy is jammed, you're dead. Two doors are better than one canopy. You guys should do more homework on the Kingcobra. Certain models DID have a supercharger and it had performance on par with the Mustang. It was an entirely differnt plane from the p39. The only reason the USAAF didn't order it was because they had already decided to go with the Mustang. The cobra showed up a few months too late. I have seen this plane many times in Midland Texas at the Confederate Air Force airshow right on the ass of Spits Mustangs, Corsairs, Bearcats and the like. It was a 400+mph fighter in level flight. The Russians got no supercharger because they needed it for low altitudes and they didn't want to pay for it. Unfortunately, we'll never know how good it could have been. We were talking about cool names. Not which of you kick another planes' ass.

Speaking of cool names, the Phantom is another favorite.
