Germans Never Expected P 38 Dive Recovery Flaps To Out Dive Their Messerschmitts Discover how ⚙️✈️ a small piece of engineering genius changed the skies over Europe in 1944. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning, once feared as unstable in high-speed dives, was reborn after American engineers developed dive recovery flaps — a seemingly simple fix that transformed air combat. Before this innovation, German Messerschmitt Bf 109s and Focke-Wulf Fw 190s could escape by diving steeply, knowing P-38 pilots risk
