Page move?

I was going to move this page, but I want to see if I was right in my suspicions. The word "Barrel" in this article title is spelled incorrectly (there's an extra l). All sources I've seen on this topic say it's spelled "barrel". Would it be improper to move this article to its correct spelling? .V. _[_Talk|Email] 12:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Go right ahead. You are correct in your spelling. Just itchy on the index fingers, I guess, although the spelling would have been corrected as the article moves toward completion. What do you think about how its shaping up? RM Gillespie 13:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. :) I think this article is shaping up pretty well! It looks very nicely constructed. .V. _[_Talk|Email] 16:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Better photos

There are any number of better photos of T-28s in Laos than the black-on-black obscurity presently in the article. Cannot someone with skills superior to mine dub one in?

Also, a photo of a forward air control plane would be great, whether an O-1, O-2, or OV-10. And a photo of fighter-bombers, preferably in action against the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

New primary source

There's a note in the conclusion that "The War in Northern Laos" would never see the light of day. Here's a link that could use digesting. I intend to read up on it myself, but I'm not much of a wiki coder.
