This is a well-written article, and a clear featured article contender. The article is in-depth and well referenced and the prose is very clear. Very well done.

I'm not suggesting alterations to this or any other article, but it's certainly interesting how things cross-reference. This article describes Brain, in April of 1929, finding a plane which crashed while looking for another plane, the Southern Cross, "reported missing on a record attempt from Sydney to England ..." Naturally I wondered what became of the Southern Cross, and when I read that article, it mentions the Southern Cross's flights in May/June 1928 (US to Australia) and September 1928 (Australia to New Zealand and back) but does not mention an Australia to England flight in 1929. And, when I read the article on the Broome air raid, the total casualties were given as 88 (in this article they are 70) and Brain's presence and actions are not mentioned.
Again, I'm not complaining. I realize the three articles are almost certainly by three separate primary authors, and that it's my job as much as anyone else's to add useful information from one article to another, or research primary sources to reconcile discrepancies. In the end, all I did was cross reference the Broome air raid article to this one. But I found these other items to be interesting examples of the difficulties of achieving consistency, so I thought I'd share. Gms3591 ( talk) 08:46, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
