Suggested corrections[edit]

Please make the following minor edits. Thanks. These are getting repeated in your articles. Djmaschek (talk) 03:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox: Active = 1943-1945 needs long dash.
History section, 1st paragraph, sentence 2: page range (357-358) needs long dash.
Aircraft section: Both date ranges need long dash.
Stations section: last entry needs 1 space before and after long dash (to be consistent with previous 3 lines).

It's that way because the dates are in the same year. But, it looks like some time in the last ten years the MOS changed (or my memory of what it said faded) so the dash with no spaces is now to be used only when there are no spaces in the dates. I'll leave it up to a bot to change my prior usage, Lineagegeek (talk) 16:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
