Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 4, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that an aircraft from HMS Raven II was forced to make an emergency landing on 21 April 1917 in the Maldives; the crew's adventures inspired Rudyard Kipling's story "A Flight of Fact"?

Fate of Raven II

edit

While Internet forums tend to be deprecated as primary source material, Theodor Dorgeist posted the following (in translation): "12.1.1945 sunk by US air raid at position 10.46 N 106.42 E Mekong Delta." (Presumably 12 Jan 1945.) (http://warsailors.com/forum/archive/forum/read.php-1,22496,22507.html#msg-22507) - Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^

Name of article

edit

It's odd that the article is named Raven II, while the ship in question had that name for less than four years (she was Rabenfels for 16 years and Ravenrock for twelve). --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:45, 4 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

If I had any substantial information about her commercial life, I might have chosen to use one of those names instead.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:55, 4 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
