Kitty O'Brien Joyner

Kitty O'Brien Joyner analyzing the operation of a wind turbine at NACA Langley in 1952
- ... that Kitty O'Brien Joyner (pictured) was the first woman engineer at NASA?
Improved to Good Article status by Rhododendrites (talk). Self-nominated at 22:35, 22 April 2019 (UTC).
Article is in date as a GA, meets all policies as one would expect. The article and sources however state that rather than being the first woman engineer at NASA, she was actually the first at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which did not become NASA until 1958. By which point there might have been, and presumably were, other woman engineers who all became part of NASA at the same time. So I think the hook is a bit misleading. Perhaps change it to make it explicit that it was NACA, the forerunner of NASA? Spokoyni (talk) 10:03, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
