The airplane was suddenly attacked by enemy fighter The attack came from above at 2 o'clock position. The initial attack was made by four fighters in rather close formation, flying somewhat abreast or in a slight "V". Closely followed by two other fighters abreast, the attacking enemy fighters were firing from multiple guns in their wings. The airplane of William Wallace seemed to shudder and roll slightly as if it was momentarily out of control. The airplane then drifted to the right and the bomb bay doors came open, followed immediately by the nose wheel doors opening. One person was seen to drop out the bomb bay and a second later, another dropped through the nose wheel doors. Approximately three (3) seconds elapsed before their respective parachutes opened in full, and at this instant another person appeared from same section of the ship.
