Possibly that was a typo..but they then based wingloading calc on the 88
figure and 1000 lb and came out with a number about 50% too light!!! <<
Did you count the bottom of the fuselage area between the two wing
roots? That's usually included in total wing area number, because it
makes a "dynamic" pressure difference, similar to what a belly flap does
(it creates an upward force vector when deployed).
