I`ve just finished Rickenbacker`s book "Fighting The Flying Circus". He speaks several times of fellow pilots having the fabric rip off the upper wings of their N.28`s, and how putting the aircraft in steep dives caused the problem.I`ve read of this problem on this aircraft before, but I`ve never read anywhere what in the design of this plane caused this to happen. Could the problem have been corrected once discovered, ala the DR1 and it`s wing spars being re-worked? Any help on this question would be very appreciated-
