 * Symbol question.svg Length and date checks out. But I can't find in the references any mention that the downed plane was American. Perhaps an additional ref or just leaving the 'American' part out of the hook? --Soman (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Reference #4 says "Among the 31 pigeons was Tyke, honoured for delivering a message which saved an American air crew." - it was why I added the citation directly after the American mention. Miyagawa   (talk)  13:54, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Somehow I managed to miss that, sorry. Good to go. Symbol confirmed.svg --Soman (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
