Improved to Good Article status by User:Nasa-verve (talk). Nominated by ThaddeusB (talk) at 15:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Newly GA status, long enough and no apparent copy violations or close paraphrasing, however, the cite cannot be readily confirmed as it is from a book not online. Would Nasa-verve please add a quote parameter and page(s) to the cite:
    • John Taylor (1996). The Lore Of Flight. Barnes and Noble Books, New York. ISBN 978-0-7607-0364-9.

According to his talk page, Template:Ping is on Wikibreak. If he doesn't happen to log in within the next few days, AGF should apply. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:42, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Template:Ping So the cite from Lore Of Flight is not a good one and I no longer have access to that book, so I added the Popular Mechanics citation to that sentence instead and added this quote: Template:Tq Does that assuage your concerns? Nasa-verve (talk) 14:52, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Too bad page 96 of the June 1961 Popular Mechanics is not part of the Google preview, but marking as accepted. WilliamKF (talk) 15:40, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
