    Actually, it turns out the best strategy is to strip the plane’s armor - light planes need less fuel, which makes them even lighter, and that makes them faster. Fast planes spend less time in enemy airspace, on top of being harder to hit.

      also… the Mossie used less critical resources which meant they could build more of them. and the plywood construction may have been harder to spot on radar.
