In February 1945, B-17 bombardier Frank Morrison faces a German Me-262 jet fighter using the controversial Bendix chin turret. The document traces how American bombers suffered devastating losses in 1943, particularly during the Schweinfurt raid where 60 of 371 B-17s were lost—70% to frontal attacks. The B-17F's nose was poorly defended, making it vulnerable to head-on assaults. German pilots exploited this weakness ruthlessly. After the disaster, military leaders debated solutions. Lieutenant-Colonel Beirne Lay proposed a remote-controlled chin turret, though it faced skepticism over weight, complexity, and cost. This "foolish turret" would prove revolutionary in combat.
