Interesting subject. How did the pressure chamber stand up to combat damage? Were they many explosive decompressions?

The maximum pressure difference on the Spitfire Mk.VI was only 2psi, so I doubt that any decompression would be explosive. The pressure hull of the Ju86P/R was punctured on several occasions without any catastrophic events. I doubt that those in the Bf109 were any greater – and these clearly not considered of great value as they were discarded on later variants, even those with the high-altitude rated DB605AS or D. It’s an interesting question whether the Bf109H was pressurised or not: I would assume so.
