This reminds me of a detail my father told me about his days as a military pilot in World War II. Some classified communications equipment had self-destruct charges built in. Before reaching enemy territory, the crew were supposed to arm sensors that would trigger the self-destruct charges if the plane crashed. Upon reaching friendly territory, the crash sensors were supposed to be disabled, so that a hard landing wouldn't trigger them. It wasn't clear whether the self-destruct charges involved incendiaries or small explosive charges.
