Inaccurate caption<\/p>\n

This may be a minor point for some, but for the sake of
\naccuracy a correction is necessary.<\/p>\n

On page six of the Sept. 12, 1994 The Jakarta Post, a
\nphotograph of an aerial display at the recent Farnborough air
\nshow is captioned: \" The Eurofighter and a World War II bomber
\nfly wing tip to wing tip...\"<\/p>\n

Readers can clearly see the designation \"F-16C\" written on the
\ntail fin of the more modern aircraft, so it cannot be anything
\nother than that type. Likewise, the vintage machine alongside the
\nF-16 is easily identifiable as a Lockheed P-38 \"Lightning\"
\nfighter, nicknamed \"the Forktailed Devil\" by Nazi airmen. The P-
\n38 was first and foremost a fighter, and only in lesser roles was
\nit a bomber.<\/p>\n

We don't know whether the erroneous photo caption originated
\nwith a TJP editor or from the wire services; I suspect it was the
\nlatter. It only goes to show that even the \"professional\" news
\nservices do not always report accurately.<\/p>\n
