	"Landing beaches" should be acceptable for Gold, Sword, etc. "Sitzkrieg" should be accepted for Phoney War - it's what the Germans called it.

	I double checked my Webster's dictionary--PHONY doesn't have an "e". Agree with "Sitzkrieg" and the French called it the "drole de guerre". All should be acceptable.

	Given that "phoney" is the preferred spelling in British English -and America never entered hostilities until Dec 1941 - this should be perfectably acceptable.

	But, I'm not British! Better to make BOTH spellings acceptable.

	What does this have to do with "revision"?

	Mulberries should be accepted for Mulberry since the question suggests a plural answer. Normandy Beaches should be accepted for Beaches because that's where they were.

	pretty sure the B17 wasn't the main US bomber used... For most of the war it was the B29 Superfortress.

	The B-29 was only used in the Pacific theater, and didn't enter active service until June 1944. The most-produced US bomber of the was was actually the B-24 Liberator.

	Also: the one about "Bomber" Harris is misleading. He was the commander of the RAF Bomber Command. "Strategic Air Command" was the name of the US Air Force's strategic bombing and ICBM command structure during the Cold War.
