And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

August 1940, a Beaufighter bomber was directly hit by a 13mm machine gun bullet on its front glass. The pilot was temporarily blinded by the fragments.
like the B-17 bullet-holed ventral turret foto. that gunner received treatment and some down time, then returned to his duty and survived the war.
