I wonder what the bail-out procedure was with this aircraft. Those
props could really ruin a man's day.

Much like the P-38 bailout procedure shown here probably ?..

The Dornier 335 had a similar problem and the rear propeller had an
explosive bolt that sheared the propeller shaft. It also had explosive
bolts that separated the dorsal fin, which wouldnąt have been necessary
with this plane.
