“The $50 paper fuel tank that gave American fighters unlimited range over Germany. In 1943, US bombers were being slaughtered because escort fighters couldn't reach deep into the Reich. Kelly Johnson's brilliant solution cost less than a pair of boots but extended the P-47 and P-51's range by 200 miles. This simple pressed-paper drop tank enabled the Eighth Air Force to achieve air superiority, protected thousands of bomber crews, and is still in use 80 years later. The genius wasn't in complexity—it was in elegant simplicity that changed air warfare forever.
