Error in July-Sept Arrow

[NW Mailing List]

For what it's worth, WWII started on September 1, 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Germany. America's involvement started on December 7, 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor. So much for the history lesson.

  WW2 started on December 7, 1941 - Pearl Harbor Day.

    I just found a glaring error in the July - August - September 2008 Arrow.  The 
    last sentence of the first paragraph on page 8 says "It started with the popular 
    RS-1 that began production in March 1941, shortly before the outbreak of 
    World War I:"

    My sources tell me that World War I was fought from 1914 - 1918, so the RS-1 
    could not have been in production before WWI.  And it couldn't have been 
    before World War II either because WWII started in 1939!

    So there are two errors in one sentence.  It was not WWI and it was not before 
    WWII.  If I can trust the 1941 production date fot the ALCO RS-1 (and I'm not 
    sure that I can based on these errors) then the sentence should read "...after the 
    outbreak of World War II".
