And, in reply to John, I read a book by Bill Gunston where he suggested that as more RAF bombers were lost by engine damage than injury to the pilot, statistical logic would have suggested removing the crew's armour and protecting the engines instead. The problem was that the crew had strong feelings about the matter and the engines didn't.
