 * Symbol question.svg. Length, date and hook reference OK How about this Alt 2 Hook with better img? I have refixed the reference to the hook.Alt2 ... that Alessandro Cagno (pictured) after volunteering for the Italo-Turkish War in Libya in 1911 built the first Italian bomber (or "added a grenade launcher”)?-- Nvvchar . 16:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your approval... but oops - Alt2 is not a suitable hook. The statement is in 'nested caveats / brackets' because I was uncomfortable with the 'bomber/grenade launcher' bit, and Sapere does not feel sufficiently authoritative for a hook. Unfortunately the bomb/grenade section reveals my method and sequence of research, almost the first snippet that I came across was a throw-away line about 'bomber' so I noted it with a Ref so that I could go back later to corroborate and shape the article. Then I did the same with grenades and Sapere.  Eventually I came across the Kafka book which gave rise to  a crude aiming device consisting of an angled surface or tube which seems more credible, so I summarised it in the lead, but we still do not have actual proof or drawings.
