Request for Comments[edit]

This article needs to be moved back to Curtiss XA-14. The four sources in the article agree that the service test version was the Y1A-18. If a source can be found I'll be happy to leave it, since there are a lot of links to this page. Awaiting comments. --Colputt 00:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It only says XA-14 in the articel, so I made the move. Never mind the links to YA-14. That's what redirects are for.--ospalh (talk) 12:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and citations[edit]

The lead asserts that the aircraft was the first multi-engine attack aircraft ordered by the Air Corps and that it was as fast as contemporary pursuit aircraft. Neither of these statements is in the narrative, so they need to be supported with citations, preferably also adding them to the narrative. --Lineagegeek (talk) 11:50, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
