Indeed it does, but I still was unsure which way he felt. Add a "against" in lieu of "on" and the reader won't have the possibility of being unsure.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I understand now. have added a bit clarifying this. Hawkeye7(discuss) 00:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The reduction from 213 air groups to 11 seems a much deeper cut than suffered by the other services. Is that number just for bomber groups or is that inclusive?
Y Went back to the source (Rearden). Nominally, the Air Force had 63 groups, but many existed only on paper. Clarified this. Hawkeye7(discuss) 01:56, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
the head of Convair's law firm This is odd, usually corporations have a mix of in-house lawyers and retain outside law firms as needed.
Some firms find it cheaper to retain the services of a single law firm. It allows a business relationship to be built up, and means that it is always available when needed, and there are no surprises at billing time. Hawkeye7(discuss) 01:56, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move the link for Convair to it's first appearance other than the title of the B-36 article
Masters' theses are generally not regarded as RS. Why should these be different?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:24, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Two are used. Lewis is just used for the source of some polling. The other is Dittmer, a first class thesis on Louis Denfeld. I rate it highly, and expect it will come out as a book in due course. Hawkeye7(discuss) 01:56, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a quarter century since Dittmer finished his thesis, I highly doubt that he'll actually be publishing it anytime soon. You're only hope of keeping it in is if Dittmer has published anything else on or near this topic. Much the same is true for Lewis, although I really doubt that you'll be able to find anything.
Y Alright. The two have been removed. I had to cut two bits out. Unfortunate, as Lewis and Dittmer both sourced them to the Naval Institute Proceedings, but I don't have access to them myself. Hawkeye7(discuss) 00:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rosenberg, et al. needs to be properly formatted and provided with an ISBN or OCLC #
Doesn't have either one. Obtained it from the DNSA via Proquest, so I can't even quote a URL. Hawkeye7(discuss) 00:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Check and see if it's in [1]. And see if you can access the DNSA directly to get a URL. If none of these are successful, add a note that you accessed it through Proquest to give readers at least a hint.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:57, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Y Already tried that. It's in Google [2], but there's no preview. Added via ProQuest and ProQest id. Hawkeye7(discuss) 01:16, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
