It wasn't so much a case of her leaving the plane as the plane leaving
her, since she was in the tail of the plane when a bomb went off and
blew the tail off.


Oh, right. There was also the case of the RAF rear-gunner who dropped
about 15k w/o a parachute. I believe the Germans gave him a certificate
to certify the fact.
