"If you trained 100 monkeys to build planes and gave them only the instructions "We want our pilots dead, and fast," they still wouldn't have come up with something as artfully stupid as the He-162."

Because if you're going to base an airplane on what's basically a suicidal mad-lib rocket and have it flown by whoever called "not it" last, you might as well throw three dozen more rockets into the mix.

And because the screaming engine was placed between the helpless gunner and the plane's oblivious pilot, the gunner had no way to communicate his fatigue to the pilot until the spray of his guts hit him in the face.

I like the sentence right after this...


It was the first aircraft made under the "throwaway fighter" concept in which it, after being flown, could be simply thrown away like a used condom.

The blurb on the design of the G4M was an unwarranted slur on the Mitsubishi engineers who designed it as they most certainly did not agree with the customer's demands and choices.  Now, if it had slurred the IJN procurement group, that would have been fairly accurate.

"With two 1,850-horsepower engines and nearly 3,000 miles of range, the G4M "Betty" was presumably built in case Japan ever decided to declare war on the Moon."   :lol
