Or make the whole thing out of whatever the black box recorder is made of. Problem solved!

just armor the whole plane dammit they’re already heavier than air!

spinlaunch and Longshot Space seem to have some ideas in that regard

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 and are harder to hit.

The survivability onion: 1 don’t get seen, 2 don’t get hit, 3 don’t get damaged, 4 don’t get killed

The principles are usually about the machine itself, rather than overall war strategy, but sure, if you can do something without risking stuff and people, that’s better.

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.

Here’s my strategic assessment: the best option is to large scale infiltrate your enemy before air raids and let the infiltrators put potatos into the air defence systems barrel’s. 🥔 gg, ez.
