[edit] B-class

Needs inline citations to complete the requirements. --Colputt 01:16, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• There are still several sections without inline refs. -Fnlayson 04:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Agree with above, more photos would be nice. Could the war sections be placed under an 'Operational history' header? Cheers. Nimbus227 (talk) 19:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• The word 'Backbreaker' appears three times, perhaps an explanation of this program could be added along with a design section explaining the aircraft technical details. I believe the B-45 was used as an airborne test bed for the J79 engine, I have a reference to it somewhere if you need it. Nimbus227 (talk) 14:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
• Could add an Operators section. Other than the 91st, what other wings or squadrons were assigned 45s and what base in Japan was the tdy deployment? And what squadrons in the UK were assigned 45s? ... with number of units assigned and assignment dates too. LanceBarber (talk) 01:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UK assignment

• RAF Sculthorpe with B-45A and RB-45 from 47th Bomb Group (Light) 86th Bomb Squadron. No number or dates. Recon missions of radar mapping of IP-to-target runs to Russia.

Add the above to the new section. (Note: Pic had an RB-45C with a "Square I" or "Square 1" on it's tail.) LanceBarber (talk) 01:57, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
