I disagree
I think the pilot wound should be different for differnt countries..
I.E.
American Plane:
you should be able to grab some lucky strikes and a picture of betty grabel off the bezel and keep yourself conscious till you reach base though sheer nicotine and dirty thoughts.
British Plane:
you grab a cigar and do poor impressions of churchhill, the put on a white powder whig and swear profusley at the "rat bastard" that plugged you. You get home, they amputate your elgs and you live out your years writing monty python skits.
Russian plane:
you scream MOTHERLAND, swig vodka, urinate on yourself (to prevent infection), spend the rest of the ride home scirbbeling profane poetry on the frosted windscreen.
German Plane:
your remove your leather underwear and use them to mya a tourniquet, you die 4 weeks later from massive infection.
Japanese Plane:
the Emperor did not give you permission to die.
Italian Plane:
you, im afraid.. are out of luck.
