Symbol question.svg This is a really fascinating and detailed article. I found some grammar awkwardness that should be clarified:

  • " ... the aircraft had suffered a runway propeller as it departed San Francisco ... " Was there something wrong with the propeller?
  • " ... and centrifugal force forces ... " Awkward wording.
  • " ... had been flying with the company since 1942 since his graduation ... " Perhaps, " ... since his 1942 graduation ..."
  • "As soon as the aircraft was reported missing and all fuel supplies had been exhausted ... " Whose fuel supplies?

Please let me know. — Maile (talk) 16:14, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
