Shouldn't it also read Do X?

It was also smaller than the Hughes "Spruce Goose" - less than half the wingspan of the Goose.

I think in this case you can't put a coma before "and." It would have to read ...land, sea, air and sea and air vehicles.

The graphic has the text "The World's Biggest Land, Sea and Air Vehicles"

It needs the Oxford comma so it reads "The World's Biggest Land, Sea, and Air Vehicles".

But at least the Do X flew out of ground effect! Actually crossed the Atlantic both ways if I remember rightly. Then there is the Saro Princess - with nearly a third greater wingspan than the Do X, and it actually did about 100hrs flying, and had a takeoff weight only about 10% less than the "Spruce Goose".

While none of the three were actually used in normal operations, the Do X came closest - and on one occasion flew for the best part of an hour with 150 passengers plus crew and stowaways. So there is some justification for including it.

I think my mum would roll over in her grave. Very old school English teacher and she would have used the last example as the correct one. Anyway, what does it matter? On to the funnies.

As was my Dad, and he would have used the former - which is what he taught me.
