What happened to the pilot in LOTF?

In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the pilot is never explicitly named and his fate is only indirectly referenced. It is implied that he perished in the crash of the plane that brought the boys to the island. His presence is felt through the boys' memories and the fear of the unknown, as they grApple with their descent into savagery. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder of the adult world and the loss of civilization amidst chaos.
