A similar thing happened in my squadron during an online mission and this was well before the mods were available. We were returning from combat, I was flying wing on the CO. Our aircraft were either F4U-1's (Corsair I) or -1A's. We were cruising along and all of a sudden his outer wing panels departed from his aircraft. The result was disintegration of the airframe and I don't think he was able to bail out. At first we thought he might have activated the wing fold mechanism in flight, but he said he had not touched any keys or buttons nor had he taken any combat damage.
