Had a conversation with a guy from WW2 one time and he mentioned how they were flying between Pacific islands in a Beaufighter (I think?) squadron and after a bombing run they were trying to get back home on min fuel. The navigator was uncharacteristically way off course. The bubble dome had been shot out and the navigator had been breathing some drawn in exhaust fumes.
