Military aircraft have a long history of making it home, when they shouldn't be able to fly. In WWII the Lancaster Bombers came back with horrific damage.

A B-24 would make it home out of sheer luck. Design not so rugged. |

b29 needed to operate at high alts because when the engines quit you needed the glide time to figure out how to get them running again
