When I got into model rocketry in 1973, D13s were long gone, in favor of the D12.. I do recall there were a good number of CATO D12s experienced by our club members in Colorado Springs. Almost all of these involved a split in the casing that would cause side-blow, pretty much roaching the whole model.
Have a couple of photos....
The first is a D12-0 that side-blew in a booster stage.
2nd photo is a D12 'Fireball' caught in the act of destroying a super-roc entry at NARWIN-1 in Phoenix. Original photo courtesy of Herb Desind.
