The wing design itself was remarkably weak (Davis wing), a few 20mm rounds from a Bf-109 and it was over.
The wing folded up and the plane rolled.
B-24J “Witchcraft” once in awhile flies through my area.
Got to walk thru this plane on Sunday...it was at the Chesterfield County airport here in VA (along with a B-17 and a P-51).
you can see in that diagram just how weak the wings are and why the wongs would fold up. hint look at where they join the aircraft. hardly any structure holding them on much less bracing them across the spine of the plane. they will just snap off.
again this was before future engineers were able to grow up playing with lego.
