Talk:Martin/General Dynamics RB-57F Canberra

Query
Why is this article not merged into the general B-57 article?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:36, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It was originally just a section in the main article, but when the section expanded to an article-length size, someone obviously split it off. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 21:43, 2 November 2011 (UTC).
 * Probably a good move, there is a lot of info here and it would be cluttered in the b-57 articleBeefcake6412 (talk) 22:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, it would be very difficult to merge this amount of detail back into the host article. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 22:27, 2 November 2011 (UTC).
 * The RF-B57F and D are basically different aircraft than the B-57 bomber is. Why I wrote these as separate articles.  Bwmoll3 (talk) 23:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

First shootdown?
From the S-75 Dvina article:
 * "the first aircraft actually shot down by the S-75 was a Taiwanese Martin RB-57D Canberra high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. In this case, the aircraft was hit by a Chinese-operated S-75 site near Beijing on October 7, 1959."
 * Unsourced. Anyone know more? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:36, 9 November 2013 (UTC)


 * You might want post this at Talk:Martin RB-57D Canberra too, since this page covers the F model. - BilCat (talk) 17:54, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks - I'd been reading about the Black Sea -F loss and thought the Taiwanese one was a -F too. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:29, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Robert Jackson's Canberra: The Operational Record (Airlife, 1988) states that one of the three RB-57Ds operated by Taiwan was shot down by PRC fighters (apparently after pressurisation failure and descending to lower altitude), with the other two aircraft surviving to be retired due to fatigue problems in 1964.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:39, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Error in metric conversion?
In the last paragraph of "Testing and production", I see "Bulova 707-1000 long range camera, which had a 240-inch (608mm) focal length". 240 inches would be 6096 mm, which looks like just a mis-placed decimal point, but I don't know which number is correct. I don't have any sources other than other Wikipedia articles to verify this, so I can't edit this myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.49.175 (talk) 00:06, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
