After correcting some minor grammatical errors along the way of reading through the article's content, I believe it now satisfies the criteria for prose; I saw no other issues in this respect.

The article cites reputable sources, and no original research is apparent.

The article covers all important aspects of the subject, and does not incorporate anything which stands out as trivial.

Looking at the history of the page, from present back to at least January, it shows no signs of any editing disputes rising up.

Is this review going to be finished? Been tagged for a long time now. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:16, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Not to be a gadfly, because this is an excellent article, but even a cursory reading shows an emphasis describing a prescience in opposing the Bomber Mafia's doctrine in 1937 that "bombers will always get through" but ignoring that he argued just the opposite about Soviet bombers 15 years later. Could it be that the impact of strategic bombing in WWII affected his thinking? So-called "daylight precision bombing" was proved wrong, but strategic bombing as a weapon devastated Germany and Japan before the advent of nuclear warfare. The article would be better in explaining this seeming contradiction. Just a thought.-- Reedmalloy ( talk) 23:23, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
