Historical departure

Particulars

Nicholas Megura's coolant system was damaged, and he decided to bail out of his plane but could not get his canopy open. He then nursed his plane toward Denmark.

He decided he would keep gliding toward neutral Sweden, miraculously reached Sweden without crashing, and made a belly landing at the Kalmar Aerodrome.
