Why German Engineers Couldn't Believe Britain's Fastest Bomber Was Made Of Wood

Why German Engineers Couldn't Believe Britain's Fastest Bomber Was Made Of Wood. In nineteen forty three, German Engineers stood in front of their own Luftwaffe commander and admitted they had no real answer for a British bomber built almost entirely from birch plywood and balsa wood. No armor. No guns. Just raw speed that nobody in the Luftwaffe could match, no matter how hard they tried. If you had been one of those German Engineers, staring at radar plots that made absolutely no sense, what would you have told your commanding officer? Would you have trusted the numbers on the screen, or assumed your own equipment was simply broken?
