This article is a work in progress. In particular, links need to be added. Many thanks to Emmanuel Gustin and Andreas Parsch, of whose work this is a summary. Earthworm Makarov 05:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I may suggest, the section that lists the various abbreviations should probably be converted to a table, with information on when the designations were created and when they were superseded. N, for example, denoted trainer from something like 1922-1948, when it was superseded by T, which was used until '62. I assume that Gustin and Parsch's work have this information, but if they don't a site—albeit a less reputable one—that does is http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/d/o/dob104/aviation/us/index.html.

I'd live to see a table, and that was something I was thinking of doing, but I don't know how. I'll try to figure it out this week. If you want to do it, go ahead, I'd love to see how it works. I'm sure the Manufacturer dsignations could use a table as well, and some of those changed over time. McDonnnel, for instance, originally had D, but was subsequently moved to H, but thenmerged with Douglas which had D. Small world. Anyway thanks for the input.Earthworm Makarov 19:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Explanations of 1911 and 1914 designation system deletion[edit]

BilCat, the reason I recently deleted the information (which I wrote) about the 1911 and 1914 designation systems is that I moved this information to the List of United States Navy aircraft designations (pre-1962), previously known as the List of military aircraft of the United States (naval). This info seems like a better fit on that page since the title now includes " designations". I originally put it here because there seemed to be no other logical location on Wikipedia, but it always felt like a slight sidetrack. Carguychris (talk) 19:12, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
