Armour in WW2 aircraft

[CJGibson]

Going off the reservation here (for me anyway). Does anyone have a reference, preferably with figures, for the weight of armour* on WW2 RAF aircraft, especially heavy bombers?

Thanks

Chris

*'Not enough' is not an acceptable answer!

Thanks Joe, seen all them, thanks. What I'm after is a weight (which I suspect will never be accurate and vary for most types as crew add/staff remove it) for a WW2 bomber. For example the A-10 is quoted as having 1,200lb armour, but that's just the bathtub, no mention of the rest. On the Sturmovik, the armour is stated as being 15% of the gross weight - that's the type of figure I'm after.

Thanks

Chris

Late war german fighter aircraft armour was typically laid out to protect the pilot and sometimes critical engine parts (radiator) against .5 inch machine gun ammo from the front and rear hemisphere.
