editThe link to ASJA in the introduction does not seem to lead to the correct information.
Operators
editThere seems to be some confusion in the operators section. Was it Austria or Australia that operated the Saab 17? Now it lists Australia as an operator, but the Austrian Air Force as the arm that operated it. Uhu219 11:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Appears to be corrected by now. Austria operated a single aircraft for a brief time as a target tug. Per80 (talk) 00:27, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Numbers
editWhat´s the difference between Numbers built and Total production run? I suspect they mean the same thing, but they give different numbers. 1 September 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.231.58.98 (talk) 00:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
The quantity mentioned in Numbers built seem to indicate the number of planes used by the Swedish Air Force according to Bo Widfeldt/Åke Hall (1999) Svenska Vingar 1: Svenska militära flygplan och helikoptrar 1911-1999. Nässjö, Air Historic Research ISBN 91-971605-3-9, whereas the total production run is probably including export and prototypes. --Pelle-Gnillot (talk) 19:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
linking national origin and company name.
editLinking national origin is more properly a discussion for WT:AIR - from a quick survey of various pages, I cannot find any consistency, nor any discussion on the matter in the archives. Some pages are linked, others are not.
As for the name, wiki standards state that all caps is only to be used if the letters are read individually, regardless of the company's usage. That said, Saab AB is incorrect for the time period, as the AB in Saab means the same as the AB added afterwards - so it should be simply Saab. Spelling out the full name isn't all that useful either since there were several unrelated Swedish companies that used the same or very similar names, while Saab is distinct and recognizable. - NiD.29 (talk) 20:18, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
