Are we to assume from this table that France, Italy, Hungary, etc produced no aircraft during WWII? Of course not. If anyone has the relevant data, please add it. - Cabalamat 06:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

suggest renaming[edit]

Mistake in Total[edit]

Hi, the value for total is way lower than the sum of the visible partials. 16,431+18,000+76,320+131,549+158,218+119,871+303,713 = 824,102 > 789,671 Total must be a bigger number, since it must include planes from all other countries in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.198.107.7 (talk) 14:38, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed numbers[edit]

The only reference provided is a broken link and this seems to contradict numbers found in virtually any other source. The entire article seems to have no basis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by InformatorsLV (talk • contribs) 15:22, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In Stewart Wilson's "Aircraft of WWII", and several other works that I do not have in front of my at this moment, There is substantial under reporting of the numbers made by at least two countries. For instance the Americans made over 100,000 fighter planes alone and almost as many bombers. Then there are the tens of thousands of other planes like transports, trainers and liaison planes, etc. Also 119,331 for Germany? More research is needed all across the board! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.6.189.166 (talk) 01:34, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiable numbers[edit]

To avoid a huge list of all sorts of references I suggest to base the numbers in this table totally and only on numbers on List_of_aircraft_of_World_War_II. This page contains numerous references to built aircraft types. The three middle columns (year, number and country) are just fine.
Another suggestion is to add 1938.

Numbers are different to other Wiki pages[edit]

The numbers shown for US aircraft production are completely different to United States aircraft production during World War II. As that page is dedicated to US aircraft production in WWII, I suggest using the number from that page with reference to it.

In Winning Your Wings significantly high numbers of US aircraft production are claimed, but this is most likely to be WWII propaganda.

Other countries like France and Poland etc. which were overrun by German forces produced some German aircraft types. Were these included in the German aircraft production numbers? Hungary sided with Germany and produced a very small number of its own aircraft types during WW2, e.g. MÁVAG Héja.

Glaring omission[edit]

Canada (a "major ally") produced 16,000 military aircraft throughout the war. https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/classroom/fact-sheets/material Rpaege (talk) 21:19, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
