Inconsistency in units order for speed between chapters

Some of the chapters give Imperial units and some metric units first when mentioning the speed of the plane, could someone edit them to be in consistent order? And since this is German (European) plane, I propose to standard view of metric units first. --86.115.22.83 (talk) 22:45, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Airborne Flamethrower

Apparently an airborne flamethrower was mounted experimentally on some Do-17s

Would be worth writing up if someone can verify some of the following references

Sky Spy - autobiography of Ray Holmes who shot down one such plane

There is only one report of a flamethrower being fitted to one aircraft.Newzild (talk) 08:52, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove tail fin photo

I propose removing the photo of a tail fin from this article. The photo shows bad camera-shake. Newzild (talk) 08:53, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MG FF?

"After heavy losses of Do 17s during the Battle of Britain it was decided to replace the MG FF cannon with the more powerful MG 151/15."

What MG FF? The article said nothing about it having anything except MG 15s before this. Now we are replacing a cannon with another? Idumea47b (talk) 00:27, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
