- Support Interesting. – Chris, I would suggest to change the gallery link to Commons:Featured pictures/Historical/1900s#1940-1949 because we use the Air transport gallery only for (more or less) contemporary photos, all historical photos of aircraft etc. are in the ‘Historical’ gallery. – Aristeas (talk) 11:00, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
