Because of the complex equipment that exceeds the skill of the pilot, a small mistake has led to an accident.

The US Air Force was able to find a solution from a surprisingly simple improvement in an exhibition situation that had to solve these problems as soon as possible.

The B17 made an important contribution to the Allied combat power, with a mere improvement that allowed the pilot to check for operational errors that they might have missed.
