S!
Every book I have read from WW2 have one thing in common regardless country they flew for: puncture/leak/damage in cooling system and they started looking for shortest route to a safe landing. Those engines did not like overheating and seizure of them could cause fire or worse. Current CEM in CoD needs some overhaul as does many other things. But liquid cooling system is a fragile thing, especially in high performance aircraft engines.
