Aircraft Retiring From Battle

[Starmyth]

Does 1 point of damage represent significant damage to aircraft?

[JohnHale]

No - but enough to make the pilot return to base p.d.q. in case it falls out of the sky at any minute!

[evan]

actually; depends on the aircraft to a degree; a Storch takes less damage that a spitfire ect.

[narwan]

Yes, one point of damage represents 'significant' damage. Enough at least to make the crew prefer to disengage and return to the airbase.
