Talk:B-17 Flying Fortress

I wrote the new material, and originally posted it to Citizendium. Photos are needed, and also a map of the bombing campaigns. RJJensen 18:34, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

I was planning on working on this article at some point anyways, so I will look for those. At some point, I will go dig out my books from the boxes they are in and add some things to the article. One comment - I think it might be a good idea to create a separate article about the strategic bombing campaign, and comment in this article only about the role of the B-17 within a larger campaign. Maybe I'll do that at some point, but I don't really have the free time to go about creating whole new articles from scratch. ----ToJones 18:40, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Also could probably use more in the early history section discussing the development of the plane and bombing doctrine in U.S. ----ToJones 18:42, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

ToJones has very good ideas and I hope he works them up.RJJensen 18:55, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

The material at Citizendium is under the GNU copyright. If anyone can clarify whether an author of a Citizendium can post his/her article at Conservapedia after they put it at Citizendium I would like to know the answer. In the meantime, I erred on the side of caution perhaps and removed the article from Conservapedia. conservative 18:33, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
