Their reccomendationd included hardening systems and assemblies that were undamaged on the returning planes. This may seem counter-intuitive but the logic was that the areas that were undamaged on returning planes may have been damaged on planes that did not return so hardening those areas might lead to more planes returning. Sidenote: There is a book entitled "In Enemy Hands" by Bryan Philpott 1981, that discusses why planes are shot down as determined by the Germans as they inspected Allied downed planes I read recently that a group of scientists looked carefully at each plane that returned to note what was damaged on each returning plane.
