Reminds me of this great movie.


While on a bombing run, one of the engines on Al's Catalina water bomber catches fire. In desperation, Pete makes a dangerously steep dive to extinguish it with slurry. He saves Al, but his own A-26 bomber flies so low it hits one of the burning trees, catches fire and explodes.

At least these pilots survived this close call.
