I cannot help but wonder how well "quality control" was at that speed. The "incoming" was not the only enemy those brave men endured. I had a friend that told me stories about WW11 flights. He passed in 2021 at 104 years old. I flew in a B-17 in 2007 and that was a memorable experience thinking how those guys must have felt. No protection from the extreme cold or the enemy. My respect for them wells up whenever I think about it.
