• Comments:
  • Changed usage of "Russian" to "Soviet" as it is better to call them Soviet since Russia did not exist as an independent country (only a Union republic) at the time.
    • I take your point, technically, but the sources use "Soviet" and "Russian" interchangeably and, apart from that, using both means that we don't have the same term three times in successive sentences. I have no objection to using "Soviet" twice instead of "Russian" twice but I'd like to have at least one "Russian" in there to break the monotony...!

• Changed the Soviet-designed to Russian-designed. Kges1901 (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Added image of RAAF Kittyhawks that was appeared as a comment in visual editor. I'm assuming that it was meant to actually place the image in the article. Kges1901 (talk) 12:48, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
    • Actually I just had that one in there as a placeholder while I looked for a picture of the subject, I should have removed it when I put in the shot of Cresswell with the P-40. I don't think it's good practice to sandwich text between images and as the article is about Cresswell rather than the squadron or the aircraft I think we can well afford to lose that P-40 picture.
