Title: Aircraft armour

Yep, I like this article very much because it sheds light upon the prevailing myth of 'armored fighters'. Really, armor protected only very few areas on any aircraft, and offered only limited means of protections. With that in mind, it`s always strange to me if somebody says Aircraft A is 'better armored', or 'heavily armored' than Aircraft B..
