Other short snorters

I've edited the reference in "other short snorters", because it says it was signed at the Tehran Conference (which was in 1943), and then it says it was signed by FDR and others in 1935. The bill is undoubtedly a Series 1935, and if the original author didn't know that dates on bills don't change every year (Series 1935 bills were produced until 1963), he/she might have made a mistaken assumption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Almostfm (talk • contribs) 23:16, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

October 2013: History section: Statement of current value of short snorters needs to be rationalized and I've tagged it accordingly

This article needs a lot of work, unfortunately, on a whole host of issues. Frankly, I'm not interested in the subject enough to invest effort and time in improving this, however, beyond appending a couple tags to bring to attention the need for greater detail and specificity and sourcing for claims as to the "current" value of short snorters. The article currently claims:

• "Short snorters sell on eBay and at other auction venues. They are currently sold for a notably low price."

However, the actual reference cited says: "Depending upon your perspective, short snorters are next to worthless or simply priceless. Whatever you decide, short snorters are truly "history in your hand."" So I've tagged this statement per the relevant issues. Good luck, guys. Azx2 21:04, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

WWII veteran reunited with $2 bill from Milwaukie after 70 years and an incredible war story

Unfortunately this didn't belong in the article external links so I'm posting it here to keep it somewhat accessible... WWII veteran reunited with $2 bill from Milwaukie after 70 years and an incredible war story "...a few weeks ago, Linam got a phone call about a $2 bill he signed more than 70 years ago. Linam still thought it might be a prank and asked the woman to tell him another name on the bill. Kearney couldn't quite make it out, so she began spelling, "AG Boi ..." Linam finished, "... naux. AG Boinaux." An old friend." Enjoy, guys... Azx2 22:29, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

redundant list

The General Hoyt Vandenberg short snorter was started in June 1942 flight over the mid-Atlantic. [...]

I question the value of putting this and other examples in the lead section, when they're also set out below. And what does "started" mean here? Were more signatures added later (which would seem to compromise the purpose)? —Tamfang (talk) 05:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
