Talk:Fiat BR.20 Cicogna

Comparison with other types

I am about to make a drastic revision of the section, eliminating nearly all the comparisons with the SM.79 which is mainly peripheral information at best. A few simple statements indicating the superiority of the SM.79 should suffice. Comments? FWIW Bzuk 20:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC).

Agree - sounds like some of it was written by the SM.79 fan club, mostly not relevant. MilborneOne 20:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Agree - I've tried to trim it down, but it could still do with major axe work.Nigel Ish 23:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Churchill quote

I removed the following uncited text:

"On the same day, the Italian fleet was torpedoed at Taranto, so Churchill said: "It was better for them, rest to protect their fleet in Italy.""

While it is quite likely that Churchill said something pithy on this ocasion, the quote is completly uncited and appears to have been mangled in translation. If a cite can be found that states what he actually said, then it may be able to go backNigel Ish (talk) 19:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

As Churchill remarked of the hapless Italian raiders of the Medway incursion: "They might have found better employment defending their Fleet at Taranto [1]. MilborneOne (talk) 19:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

More of the same

Well, here's another one of those "comprehensive" articles! I can see that a vast amount of hard work has already been done by some valiant editors, but on first sight it seems there is still a need for readability and grammar polishing. Further trimming would be useful, but I'm afraid I might edit out portions that others may have laboured on for some time and so I'm a bit reluctant to make a start. At least there is a sprinkling of inline references through this article! --Red Sunset 22:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Armstrong Whitworth Whitley

Armstrong - Whitworth Whitley should be added on the list of comparable aircraft. Korina (talk) 20:11, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
