when in doubt Wikipedia is an excellent source. It is not hyper accurate but has solid introductory info on pretty much any bird. When it comes to hyper detail you will likely need to find other sources. With Wiki this thread on the F7F would have gone a different direction.
Boo
Wikipedia is a way to find out new things, however you must follow it up with actual sources and not "googled".
I.e if you want something added in game, look up wiki, then find someone who has source material on the item..
I generally have a few people now and then drop me a line requesting certain material, which is not a problem, however I ignore those who go outside
the realm of the game itself. I.e no 1945/1946 planes/tanks. Stupid ideas either.
