      It’s an image from a study of Allied bombers during World War 2. The red dots are places where the plane was shot, yet still managed to return home. A knee-jerk reaction would be to add armor to these places, but the real solution was to add armor to the places where the suvivors hadn’t been shot (cockpit, engines, tail), resulting in more planes surviving their bombing runs.
