With complete disregard for his own safety Sergeant Allen promptly went to the assistance of his comrade. The aircraft was now on fire and falling rapidly. Nevertheless, this gallant airman hacked away at the turret doors with an axe and finally succeeded in freeing his comrade. Just as Sgt Allen was ready to jump the aircraft broke in two. He fell clear, however, pulled the ripcord of his parachute and descended safely.
