This result may be explained by the fact that there were three times as many members in flying occupations, such as pilots, navigators, flight engineers, in the deployed cohort as there were in the non-deployed cohort.
Ce résultat tient au fait que la cohorte déployée comptait trois fois plus de personnel d’aviation, comme des pilotes, des navigateurs ou des mécaniciens de bord que la cohorte non déployée (tableau 2).
