The secret WWII innovation that cost just 11 shillings but saved hundreds of RAF pilots from the deadly Messerschmitt blind spot.
Dive into the forgotten history of the Battle of Britain and the seemingly ridiculous solution that turned the tide for the RAF Hurricane pilots. Losing men faster than they could be trained, British air defenses faced a lethal blind spot in their primary fighter. Experts insisted a fix was impossible without years of redesign. Then, a self-taught engineer named Frederick Miles offered a fix: simple fabric strips that cost mere shillings. Discover the story of the "airflow warning devices" that bypassed years of bureaucratic red tape and proved a simple, peripheral vision cue was the difference between life and death. This is the untold history of how a non-expert's bold idea slashed casualty rates by 40% and helped Fighter Command survive Hitler’s assault.
