Talk:Fairey Barracuda

Untitled
Does anybody have a picture source for Brit WWII-aircraft. We're featuring this on the main page in DYK, and if it really is so ugly, we'd love to have a pic... :)

Infamous folding wings
Why exactlly is the plane infamous for the way its wings are folded? This should be exapnded upon i should think.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 20:48, 5 February 2009 (UTC

Dificult to explain clearly, I'm afraid. Each wing was in two sections: the inboard trailing edge and flap was folded spanwise so that it lay on top of the main section of the wing, which then folded back. A picture would explain much better.TheLongTone (talk) 14:59, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The line drawing in the specifications section shows a folded Barracuda - and shows just how messy it liiks - not sure I would call it "infamous" though.Nigel Ish (talk) 15:04, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Comparable aircraft
Comparable aircraft: Could this also refer to Douglas Dauntless & Vultee Vengeance? Both 2-seater dive bombers of that era.Dean1954 (talk) 17:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
