apparently, he was half out of the cockpit, but the aircraft was spinning groundwards rather quickly, and he was plastered against the side of the fuselage..... so I don't reckon he could of pulled his foot free if he wanted to, cos he was being pulled anyway by the slipstream, and the strap gave way which let him "float" free...
Yep if Bader had had *real legs* he would have been toast tbh. Interesting fact that whilst Bader claimed (and sincerely believed) he was rammed in the DF by a 109. Adolf Galland is 100% adament that he was shot down. In his offically biography written by his brother in law the case for him been mistaken is very strong, likely hood is he got jumped while chasing another 109
