This article containes numerous errors several of which are extremly egregious. The worst of them is the clear misunderstanding of the authors of the relationship between Range 19. (WWII) and Test Area 10 (post WWII). The author(s) have conflated two distinct locations and programs. This is understandable as much published information including US Government and Wikipedia sources confuse, conflate, and perpetrate errors, especially involving early US missile programs and particularly the JB-2. As one site and test program was followed by annother on the same island and separated by months rather than years this is understandable. This basic discrepancy in Wikipedia articles on early missile programs is understandable due to the rapid pace of development and the usually high degree of secrecy covering the programs at the time and the rapidity with which the programs were conducted and replaced.
JB-2 ground launched testing occured at three distinct sites in or near Eglin AFB. One during WWII and two after. The worst confusion occurs between the tests at Range 19 which occured during WWII and the tests at Eglin Area A-10 after WWII. These two sites are separated by 22 miles and the end of the war. As I have been threatened with being banned from Wikipedia editing due to my preference for historical fact over popular choice I am attempting at this point to determine if the WikiGods who reign over Airship articles also reign over Missile articles. If so I shall not edit this page rather than incure their wrath. If I must avoid banishment I shall supply sources for others to use in order to correct some errors in this article if there is a desire for direction to such valid sources expressed.
