Talk:Night fighter

message: Can we confirm that the Black widow "designed from the ground up" had superior performance that the Mosquito NF? GraemeLeggett 14:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What, weighing around twice that of a Mosquito and being considerably larger, and despite the increased horsepower, having the much greater wetted area of the two tailbooms - that doesn't seem very likely does it. I'd like to see a P-61 doing upward rolls on one engine. I suspect the Black Widow had a slightly better performance than a late Ju 88 night fighter, but that both the Mosquito and the Heinkel He 219 would better it by a considerable margin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.253.10 (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The final paragraph mentions the F-14 and MiG-31 as the only surviving night figthers. It explains that they are long-range interceptors, but it doesn't explain how or why they are any more "nighty" than other aircraft. Lupine Proletariat 09:32, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: They used either moonlight to see the enemy bombers or relied on ground-based searchlights to illuminate them. Often the attackers were Zeppelins so they were much larger than aeroplanes and easier for the searchlights to find and illuminate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.82.109 (talk) 21:29, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  World War I ?? 

message: Re-visiting this article, I've found a lot of WP:original research and tracked it down to these major edits almost a year ago. I've examined only the tiny Zeppelin-related portion, but it worries me that (a) there was a source included, (b) the source does not confirm the text, (c) the information provided is incorrect to say the least. Hence, I doubt if the other content of the same contributor, introduced at the same time, can be trusted - and it means a lot of article's content. Especially that the rest of contribution was not cited. --Kubanczyk (talk) 22:54, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, that's not what happened at all, see my earlier concerns.  FWiW Bzuk (talk) 13:08, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any earlier concerns in regard of these major edits almost a year ago. Are we talking about the same thing? We did end up with a version saying that Strasser died in 1917, and Camel was called Cosmic. I suspect more errors were introduced and not identified to date. --Kubanczyk (talk) 07:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Word of caution - OR 

message: In our times, only heavier-than-air aircraft comes to mind when we say "bomber". But please note that airships were occasionally referred to as  bombers in the WWI era. So it is not entirely correct to contrast airships to bombers when writing about this era. Moreover, as airships are (and always were) classified as aircraft, it is even less correct to contrast airships to aircraft. --Kubanczyk (talk) 08:28, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
