| Something as small as a torn bore evacuator O-ring could result in a deadly flareback. |
| The Dreadnought Boys had beaten the flareback at its own grisly game. |
| Flareback happens when the fuel-rich gases formed by firing the main gun enter the crew compartment, mix with oxygen, and then are ignited by some source. |
| The flareback had come like a bolt from the blue while the gun crew, still cheering Jim Cooper's second hit, were reloading. |
