When German engineers examined a captured B-17, they expected to find weaknesses.
Instead, they found a machine built to survive, return, and be replaced.
Body:
Early in the air war over Europe, German commanders believed no bomber force could survive sustained daylight operations. Heavy losses would eventually force the Americans to abandon the strategy.
Then a damaged B-17 fell into German hands.
What began as a routine technical inspection slowly turned into something far more unsettling. The Flying Fortress was not designed to avoid damage. It was built to absorb it. Layer by layer, system by system, German engineers discovered an aircraft that reflected an entirely different industrial philosophy.
This is the story of how technical analysis turned into strategic realization — and how the air war was lost not in a single battle, but in the mathematics of replacement.
