Roland KovacsThanks Bart!
The plane B.601 itself have a rather interesting story as well...
In August 1940 near Börgönd airfield - Hungary during a training flight around 7500m altitude the pilot lost consciousness due to the fault in the oxygen supply system.
The plane went into a uncontrolled dive and in the mean time the radio operator bailed from the plane.
Unfortunately his parachute shattered due to the high speed and possibly collided with the vertical stabilizer (see the B&W original picture) and died instantly.
About 2200m altitude the pilot gained consciousness again and landed the plane safely.
