Photo and title corrections
[edit]The photo currently used is of Anne Lindbergh being launched Jan 29, 1930 in a Bowlus Model A sailplane (60' wingspan) at Mt. Soledad. It is not of the SP-1. SP-1 photos are available through Flickr and the SD Air and Space Museum. For instance Catalog 00075968, 00075974, 00075978. I am not sure how to load pictures into Wikicommons however I see that the current photo of Anne's launch was also from Flickr. If its possible to import these pics of SP-1 that would be great. Please provide instruction.
Also the name for this article is "Paper Wing" whereas even Bowlus referred to it as "Paperwing" (more commonly "Old Number 16"). Is there a way to edit the title of the article to make this correction? Thanks for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zanonia (talk • contribs) 22:12, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Okay thanks for the note that the photos was not of the SP_1. The Fickr page says that it is, but could of course be wrong. It looks like you have the other photo sorted out and inserted into the page. I'll move the article to reflect the new name. - Ahunt (talk) 16:35, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
