That is an amazing story - even with some basic flying Knowledge I would still say the % chance of survival in that situation must be in single figures / very low. He did an awesome job to stay calm (and with no helmet or canopy)

As an aside it would be a huge help to get a firm ID on this watch for one of my pilot research projects….
Any help / comments much appreciated ….

Here is the pilot's own account https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=676440 He did actually have his wings, but only on piston-engine trainers.
