I've reworked the airborne deception critique to make clear it's from Franklands review (which can probably be best described as mixed) and therefore attribute it as an opinion. Hopefully this is a good compromise. The current amendments (that there was very little airborne deception) isn't easy to source. --Errant ^(chat!) 08:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
