Yet another article lifted verbatim from a web site, and this one with numerous small errors of dates, places, and titles. Wholly re-written and sourced.--Buckboard 15:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

What website would that be? (And are you sure't it isn't a wikipedia mirror, like answers.com?) Raul654 15:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Definitely not a mirror site. http://www.jcs-group.com/military/aaf/washington.html I was goggling for a specific piece of information not available in my written sources and came across it. The only editing has been to split it into sections and break up paragraphs into single-sentence paras. It's a personal military compilation site (also appears to be selling stuff too). I find this a lot in my area of interest, military history, esp. USAAF. Extracting whole from a source is okay by me as long as it's public domain, such as a National park Service, Arlington Cemetery, DoD bio, etc. (Sometimes the prose is turgid but that's another story) as long as it's credited and wikified. But even though there's no copyright notice on this site, it does appear to be someone's authorship, and copying that stuff, inaccuracies aside, makes me uncomfortable----Buckboard 06:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better Photo

There's a better photo (HAP-D.JPG) of Arnold without cap on the page for article Operation Bolero. I'd switch them, but don't know how to do it.--TGC55 16:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Done.--Buckboard 08:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] continuation of bombings after the war's end

Is there a reason why the section on World War II doesn't mention that it was Henry H. Arnold who organized the celebratory thousand-plane raid that bombed civilian targets in Japan after Japan had already surrendered? It's a fairly important historical event and is normally what Arnold is remembered for and yet I can't even see the usual Rightwing-Delete/Leftwing-Revert cycle that history pages on such articles are littered with. Is the event described elsewhere or something?

Let's see some references from some reliable sources and we'll add it --rogerd 22:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Particularly the "celebratory" assertion. --Buckboard 00:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
