Is it just me or is the aircraft that gets destroyed trailing smoke prior to getting caught in the preceding aircraft's bomb blasts? (I zoomed the first and second images under 'Minimum Altitude Bombing').

They may have been hit beforehand, and it looks like the smoke is coming from the fuselage, pretty serious trouble for the crew.
