[edit] References

Both the Mushroom book itself and Amazon.cu.uk also list the two ISBN nrs. ISBN-13 is supposed to replace the normal ISBN in the near future.Dirk P Broer 14:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

With the majority of published works from 1966-2007 only listing an ISBN (the so-called 10 protocol), you would only be able to find the ISBN -13 on published works from 1 January 2007 (some earlier editions also supplied the number), but it would not be counter-productive to list both. Again, in citations and bibliographical referencing, noting the ISBN is merely an optional note as it has more to do with locating the item in a bookseller's directory and really does not fall into a reference tracing. Most researched works prior to the 2000s, rarely identified the ISBN, it is now added (in practice) but there is no real need for it in a bibliographical record. IMHO Bzuk 15:51, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Operators

Finland: I have my doubts about the Finns ever using the CR.42. The Gloster Gladiator, yes. The Fiat G.50 (Also known as Falco) also. But to my knowledge no Fiat CR.42's. Dirk P Broer 15:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Technically an operator of the Fiat CR.42, although Finland purchased the type, it never served operationally. During the Winter War, the Finish Air Force ordered a few CR 42 aircraft. They arrived too late to see service and the Finns sold them to the Swedish Air Force, at the time, desperately short of modern equipment. The first 12 Finnish CR 42s were complemented with more aircraft bought later, in total, 72 aircraft in Swedish service. Bzuk 16:04, 5 May 2007 (UTC).
