This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
Many references are missing and need to be added for the large number of paragraphs marked with citation needed tags.
For an article this long, the lead should be expanded to a full paragraph so that it summarizes the article. The lead was removed as copyvio. A lead should be written that isn't copied off the 41 Squadron brief history article.
Ref to Gillespie doesn't cover the statement about the Canadian aces or the service of the other aces with the squadron, please provide refs supporting their service with the squadron.
The notable pilots section should probably be condensed, this article doesn't need to provide biographies of men such as Collishaw who already have wikipedia articles.
Per
WP:NOTMEMORIAL, the Roll of Honour section should be removed.
The lists of decorations awarded, POWs, escapers/evaders and Guinea Pig Club members should be removed. External links can be added to copies of the lists (if they are present in other places on the web).
41 Squadron Retro external link has connection issue, should be removed if dead.
Notes with comments such as Refs #1, #21, #59, etc. should be formatted like those
here and should be placed in a separate reflist and section.
There are many duplinks in this article that should be removed, see
MOS:DUPLINK for more info on this.
"The pilots returned from the third without the Commanding Officer" - Is this CO mentioned Geoffrey Hyde?
Short citations to books written by Steve Brew should have the year included, as there are two books by that author in the bibliography.
