If you could go back in time, what would be the worst errors you could correct for various wars. These should be things that could be implemented pretty fast without first developing a whole new industry.
For example, planes in WWII had swept back wings when they should have been swept forward.
The aircraft wing was just an example and very possibly a wrong one at that.
There must be all kinds of simple tricks in radar and other electronics that appeared over the years that could be easily implemented with the older technology.
Even today there are patents being granted that are not dependent on modern technology and could have been invented a century ago. This list would include that as well as anything else that appeared in the mean time.
You are going back in time and they are demanding fast results.

The " G suit " or more correctly, " anti G suit " .
A low tech solution to the problem of fighter pilots blacking out in high G manoeuvres.
Towards the end of WW2, practical G suits became available ( to the Allies at least) and were VERY effective.
Had they been available earlier, as was technically possible, thousand of pilots lives would have been saved AND the pilots that had them would have possessed a HUGE advantage during " dog fights " and diving manoeuvres over those who did not.
Very dumb not to have pushed forward the idea much earlier.
A 'worst error' wouldn't be much of an error. If you're gonna screw up, it should be much grander, like 'The BEST error' or 'Unsurpassable error' or 'an error of ALWAYSWRONG magnitude'
As for wars, the vast majority of them could have been prevented years before by the Natives killing every missionary landing on their shores and then burning the ships down to the waterline.
