This is an old one...and if you know the answer...hide it as a spoiler so that others can have a bit of fun:
During WWII, the British were losing lots of Spitfire fighters to German anti-aircraft gunfire. The knew the planes could fly with a bit more armor than they had, but they were not sure were the extra armor should go - so they commissioned an expert for advice.
The expert ordered that the bottoms of all returning Spitfires be photographed.
The photos showed the damage done by the shells.
He recommended adding additional armor.
Where?
And why?
