Lucky guy.

The B-24 was one of the worst planes to exit from, if not the worst, in an emergency.

An emergency exit from a boomtail aircraft was not something one ever would have wanted to attempt. I knew a guy who did - bailed from a P-38 over Holland and suffered compound fractures of both legs.
