Re: BOB aircraft armour
As a comparison, a schematic of a Bf 109 in Len Deighton's Battle of Britain shows an 8 mm armour plate fitted to that aircraft.
With reference to fitting armour to the RAF fighters, this book refers to: '...the sheet of armour plate now fitted behind the rear seat of all RAF fighters, after a squadron in France early in the war had tried it against official advice that it would 'spoil the balance of the aircraft'.'
