Is that true? I thought most aircraft attacks were an all-or-nothing thing. The aircraft goes down or it doesn't.

You're right - I was thinking of the sort of attack where they capture rather than down the aircraft, but that hardly ever happens these days.

He means each air attack encouraged driving instead of flying, and the extra driving killed more people than the "all" from the attack.
