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.
It has to do with the low pressure above the bottom wing and the high pressure below the top wing interfering with each other. This reduces the efficiency of both wings and the faster you go the worse it gets. The BeechCraft Staggerwing was designed to reduce the interference between wings by separating them vertically and longitudinally. Al_in_Ottawa
Obviously Helldivers from before the war. During WW2 they had single wings.
