TIL in 1944, 3 B-29 bombers made emergency landings in USSR. Stalin ordered his engineers to clone them. A small hole was found on the left wing of the captured B-29 which was probably drilled by mistake. So, a very small unnecessary hole, made with the thinnest drill, appeared on all Tu-4 bombers.
