Parachutes were not available to pilots of the RFC's heavier-than-air craft – nor were they used by the RAF during the First World War – although the Calthrop Guardian Angel parachute (1916 model) was officially adopted just as the war ended.
Парашютами пилоты "RFC" во время Первой мировой войны не пользовались, парашют марки "Calthrop Guardian Angel" (модель 1916 года) был официально принят на вооружение лишь в конце 1918 года.
