Got a question!

Did Great Britain actually catapult Hurricane fighters from cargo ships to
protect convoys from German Folkwulf bombers?

Yes

If so, did the Hurricane pilot
then ditch or bail out after the fight?

Yes

And what percentage of Hurricane
pilots ever made it back, especially on the Murmansk run?


On the Murmansk run they'd normally head for Soviet territory as
ditching in those seas wasnt healthy.
