How One Mechanic’s “IMPOSSIBLE” Trick Give Bombers Twice Damage Rates.

March fourth nineteen forty four, twenty eight thousand feet above Berlin. Captain Don Gentile grips the control stick of his P fifty one Mustang, eyes flicking between the horizon and the fuel gauge edging toward empty. Beneath him, the formation of B seventeen bombers stretches into a silver horizon, their engines droning in unison. They have just dropped their loads over the heart of Nazi Germany, and now every man in the sky knows the cruel arithmetic of distance. Berlin is six hundred miles from England. The bombers can make it home on their remaining fuel. The fighters, by every manual and engineering limit ever printed, cannot. Yet Gentile and his squadron are still here, circling above the bombers like loyal guardians. This mission should have been impossible. It had been impossible until a mechanic with grease on his hands and a stubborn streak in his soul decided impossible was a word for people who stopped thinking too soon.
