There have been several examples of similar courage, haven’t there, where pilots have stayed longer than they should and paid the price with their lives but saved many more, on the ground. Both in wartime and peacetime.

Are they recorded anywhere in particular or only to be found by searching?

Yes your quite right Joey, and i think its no bad thing to highlight these instances when they come to light.
As far as i know it is only through researching a specific incident or item that they are found, rather than a dedicated website.
