Operators

Was the type really used by all those countries? - Aerobird 02:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to my sources the answer would be no. --Colputt 14:48, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Merger

I have two sources I can use to fix this article, but I also believe the YA-13 and XA-16 should be merged in as variants. Perhaps also the A-33, which I just noticed was also a variant. I must now go change my merge tag. I'll wait for a while to see if there is a consensus before I spend time fixing the article. --Colputt 14:48, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the XA-16 page, the AX-13/16 and A-17 were developed concurrently. In addition, tho the A-33 page is very skimpy (I've seen more info in print, so I thik it's expandable), it is generally covered separately fronm the A-17, and is under the Douglas nameplate. I'd keep the A-17 and A-33 separate, but combine the XA-13 and 16 (probably under the -13 name, since it came first, and the -16 is merely an engine change). - BillCJ 16:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about the series, but if they were related then a merger with redirects would be appropriate. Idsnowdog 16:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I Feel that this merger would be a great improvement for our standards and would be a greats success for us. Appropriate redirects will be needed. Sammy9990 14:24, 19th October 2007 (GMT)
