Reconciling previous version of the article

[edit]

I've done a nearly complete rewrite of the article because there were many cases in which this version was not clear that the sources referred to Ent Air Force Base, sometimes the source clearly referred to Peterson Air Force Base. Sometimes Ent wasn't mentioned at all.

There is some information where it's unclear:

  1. 201 Army Air Force Unit, a primary document, doesn't stipulate which base in Colorado Springs in 1944. This record seems to connect it, though, to the 15th Air Force. Is this enough to correlate the two primary documents and come to the conclusion that the 201 Army Air Force Unit was at Ent?
  2. This information is interesting, but the source is self-published. There's not even author, publisher, isbn info. I couldn't find a reliable source for this information when working on the Antlers Hilton Hotel article.
  3. The Plotting Board is clearly pictured in the Schaffel source, but I don't see a connection to it in the Popular Mechanics article - there's no mention of Ent or the Combat Operation Center. Is this the same plotting board?
    • By 1961, an image of the COC's "Plexiglas plotting board"[2]: 151  was being transmitted to SAC's underground command post at Offutt AFB.[3]
  4. These statements may be correct, but the first source talks about golf on the Vincent Air Force Base. The other link is now a deadlink / redirected, but this is the archiveurl . It might be better to find a source that says when the base started a clay shooting range.
  5. This is regarding NORAD
    • Colorado Springs had 1957 "monitor machines on the four DEW Line main circuits",[6]
  6. I couldn't find a source for this
  7. I'm not sure the value of this and there's no source to read:
    • (effective 10 June 1958, Colorado was the only state completely in the 34th NORAD Region.)[7]
  8. The reference isn't source, it's a google maps location
    • Some of Ent's operations/units moved to the partially underground 1963 Chidlaw Building ½ mi (¾ km) south-southeast of Ent.[8]
  9. No mention of Ent:
    • (e.g., the COC moved to the 1963 NORAD[9] Combined Operations Center.)[10]
  10. I didn't find this in the source - not on page 472 or any other pages for Peterson Air Force Base:
  11. This source and the only archived snapshot are about a Pikes Peak International Auto Show
  12. Information based upon an interview with a former Federal Building employee
  13. This source lists the complex as the Ent AFB Defense Area, but it just provide a cost factor (1.07) on page 75. I'm not seeing anything about the following:

Does anyone know about whether any of these items are Ent? Are there sources for this info or the connection to Ent?--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:12, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Regarding reconciliation of this earlier version,

  • I am not finding a reliable source for the 206th Army Air Force or 206 Army Air Force in Colorado. There was no citation for the information - and the information that I did find was other Wikipedia articles and perpetuation of Wikipedia articles. There's also a blog and forum, but they're not reliable sources. Does anyone have information about this group being in Colorado Springs in the 1940s?
  • There's more detail in the previous version, but that seems to be taking the article beyond the limits of an encyclopedia article, but if others disagree, I am happy to add back the content that has valid citations.

Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
