Did we ever resolve this? I gather than everyone hates the name, but is there a better one? |

Merge all the Great War boards into a Great War grouping. You did it with every other period.
Then, it can be "Great War Air". Then, we will all be happy.
At least, I will be. Consider also that monoplanes like the Fokker DVIII, the Taube, the Morane Saulnier N, and so on have no home for discussion.
Nor, dare I say it, the Fokker Triplane? |

Yup, all them Fokkers was Messerschmitts… |

Lets get some consistency. Modern, WWI and WWII boards all use a different set of titles. Them Fokkers were flying Messerschmitts. (Oops!, did I just commit a doghouseable offense?) |

I don't know why we should be concerned with the sexuality of these aircraft anyway. What does it matter if some of the Fokkers are bi? |

Just put the whole WWI section back how it was before you messed with it. There was nothing wrong with it. |

"Great War – Air" sounds better (to me);
"World War One – Air" is more cosistent with the existing scheme. Either one is quite acceptable. In naming the boards, clarity should be sought over color. |

Stringbags board.
-Kle. The Fairey Swordfish didn't enter service until 1936… |

Stringbags board.
-Kle. The Fairey Swordfish didn't enter service until 1936… And in any case was so named because of the amount and variety of kit it could carry. Like stuffing your shopping into a string bag. |

And in any case was so named because of the amount and variety of kit it could carry. Like stuffing your shopping into a string bag. Quite It also shows up the absurdity of the 'Biplanes' board as a catchall for WWI aviation. The Swordfish wasn't the only biplane to serve in WWII :) |

I don't think you should let people who are careless in their board selection to stop those boards from being called WW I or even "World War One", rather than the silly names they have now.

I think that there should be one Air Combat board, covering 1903 to the present. |

Great War-Air makes the most sense to me. |
| Klebert L Hall | 26 Nov 2008 10:17 a.m. PST |
The Fairey Swordfish didn't enter service until 1936… Well, I'm misremembering, then.
There was some sort of slang term for wood-and-fabric airplanes, back in the day.
