I presume you mean about the way they designed the Bf 109. 'Fraid not. It's one of those things that has stuck in my memory from colloquia in the Structural Engineering Division. Probably still there cos it's coupled with my close encounter of the first kind - the Jerries didn't actually shoot at me. That would have been a close encounter of the second kind like when a bomb demolished two houses in the next street and a damned great piece of granite kerbstone buried itself 6 feet down in our back garden.
