Wibault 9

 * Symbol question.svg... that the Wib 9 was flown for the first time no earlier than in the mid-1926?

 * Symbol question.svg two minor issues - the hook doesn't scan well, why not something like the one I write below - also the wingspan is slightly different in the online source. Looks good otherwise Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:37, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg ALT1 ... that only one Wib 9 was built? -- suggested by Casliber
 * Long enough and new enough; adequately footnoted; AGF on some other items due to offline sourcing. ALT1 can't be used because the website source it's based on does not appear to be a reliable source. As for the first hook, not only do I agree with Casliber that it doesn't scan well, but if it were reworded (something like "that the first test flight of the Wib 9 was in mid-1926 or thereafter") it would be very uninteresting. I propose an ALT hook based on statements attributed to the other source cited in the article:
 * ALT2: ... that the Wib 9 fighter aircraft never went into production, although testing suggested it was faster than the model that preceded it?
