I am not sure about "incredibly simple" in general though. Look at how insanely sophisticated the P-51D fighter was, for example. But sure, something in engineering as we see it today, and around it, has been lost.

Or the B-29. That was arguably one of the most sophisticated (and expensive) aircraft of the war.
