Looking for a stroy from World War II?
I'm looking for an account of a story I heard about WWII, in which aircraft designers were trying to figure out exactly where to put armor on aircraft -- they didn't have the planes that were shot down to examine, so they had to work with the planes that were hit by enemy fire but not shot down. They eventually figured out that they had to armor the places where the surviving planes had NOT been hit. I'm looking for an accounting of the basic facts of this story (and to see if it's really true).
Actually, you sound dumb. The story I was looking for is that of Abraham Wald, which I eventually found for myself:

If one does not know the answer to a question, one should not respond with random thoughts pulled from one's @ss. I wonder if your IQ is higher than your best answer percentage?

Sounds dumb. It's rather simple, You place armor in the cockpit area.Typically the rear of the seat in a single seat plane. The Winshields were made of armored glass. Sorry, there is no need for any story. The most common attack on a plane is from behind.
