It states that the propellors were in the tail. Should it state on the tail as I am not aware if any planes have ever tried in the tail propellors like a couple of helis have. Thanks Calmer Waters 17:16, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
There's a clear contradiction in hp figs. Francillon expressly says they were 1375hp, while Morgan says 1600. Given Francillon is the later-published, as well as in a specialist source on Douglas a/c, & so more likely to be correct, I'd say change to 1375. No?

The only illustrations I've ever seen for this all come from the same color painting, and I don't know it's original source or provenance. I assume it was created by Douglas Aircraft, but can't confirm. An example of the illustration is found at the bottom of this article, although at that source it's B&W, -- 174.17.170.227 ( talk) 17:02, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
