Frontal Area
The given frontal area is less than the area of one of the propellers, a rough approximation of the frontal area would be closer to 100 m^2. The link is also broken 35.2.137.17 (talk) 01:58, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed. After tracing to the source it is not the frontal area but a drag area specified by designers for use in drag coefficient formulae. It was added by a now blocked editor in May 2019, this editor was prone to mistakes and also frequently added unsupported parameters to Template:Aircraft specs causing multiple problems. I have removed the entry. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 08:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Reference to "Tunnel gun" in Armament section.
Reading the article section under "Armament" there is a reference to a "tunnel gun" as an alternative to the lower turret. This is the sentence I am referring to: "The turret proved unsatisfactory and was soon replaced by a tunnel gun, which was itself omitted. "
I was unfamiliar with this term and found this short reference which I think the term should perhaps link to: https://worldwar2database.com/b-24d-liberator-tunnel-machine-gun/
Also that sentence is a bit awkward. Perhaps what was meant was "which was itself later omitted." ChucklesSmith (talk) 15:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
The abreviation
Hi there! I am busy translating this article into Afrikaans where it hopefully will become a front page article. I am battling somewhat with some of the abbreviations, especially in the paragraph named Radar/Electronic warfare and PGM deployment. Is BS = Bombardment Squadron? What is RS? Clarification will be appreciated! Regards! Oesjaar (talk) 13:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
