Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/checklist (military)

[back to strategy]

This list has been created as a benchmark for Wikiproject:Aircraft as we work towards Wikipedia 1.0, acting as a guide as to significant aircraft that may not yet have coverage in Wikipedia. Please do not add to or subtract from this list - it then loses its value as a benchmark.

It is based on the aircraft that received feature articles in the World Aircraft Information Files partwork, some 250 military types and 200 civil types. If you are aware of a list of similar scope from another aviation encyclopedia, you might like to submit it as a separate benchmark.

Limitations: It is acknowledged that pre-1940 types are probably under-represented, and British types are probably over-represented. Also, no X-planes or prototypes are listed here.

Note: Also be sure to run a search for the planes name in case an article has already been written under a different name before writing a duplicate article.
