Inquisitor 1345

[Ripper]

Could someone explain the wordplay to:
1 across: Large gent knocked over tense soldier obstructing dance (6, 2 words) BIG _ O Y
The extra/missing/ correct letter is T
I'm assuming Big boy

19 across: Could it have been used to induce air force mistakes as king overcomes leader of traiters? (7) FE_RARA
The extra/missing/ correct letter is S

Thanks in advance

Misprint is - large Tent
Over tense soldier=IG T with BOP(dance) around
Big top

19ac has to be FERRARA. I think it's possible that the misprint is S, as in Sir (induce Sir = create a knight? Ferrara is a name of a sword). Wordplay is F + Errata, with R (king) replacing T[raitors].

19a Induce Sir
Force=F
Mistakes = ERRATA minus the leader of T(raitors)
Ferrara

[slaney]

..and as Jim has said substitute R king for T

Thank you slaney & jim360

Thanks from me, too. I finished Inq by Sunday night for the first time in ages but was at a loss to see how the spare letter (which had to be "s") was generated in the Ferrara clue.
