Altough the use of pigeons maybe came officailly public in 2007, it was well known before, maybe by people's experiences. I read about this some years ago in a National Geographic magazine. It should also be noted that Nazi trained hawks by falconeers to get the pigeons down. Also to be noted as I heard Blenhim's on photo reconassiance used homing pigeons to send details about what they had intercepted. The airforce also used to have a pigeon loft to train these pigeons.

- Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). — Note, though, that you'd need to cite reliable sources for such additions; "I heard it" unfortunately isn't quite enough.

instructions in flemish and dutch ? edit
flemish and dutch are the same language.
just slightly different pronunchiation(sp?) and accent.
written it stays the same.
so flemish is really redundant.
- Well, the source says: "...detailed instructions in French, Flemish or Dutch on how to fill in a report", so we have to go with that. Sandstein 07:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
