Hi Nick, copyedited given this might be destined for A-Class Review, and I had a couple of points/queries;
Other than the above, I think it's ready for ACR. Interesting you expressed pleasant surprise that I could wring such a detailed article out of No. 491 Squadron RAAF -- I'd never have imagined that an article on a troop convoy that suffered no losses could be so detailed and interesting! Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 08:04, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
The tension, political, strategic and tactical (fear of losses), around this operation was high as it involved such a redistribution of force and commitment of very critical shipping—not to mention the commitment of the prominent "Monsters"—in competition with such "little" efforts as BOLERO (build up of U.S. forces in the U.K. for an invasion), China support and Soviet Lend-Lease efforts. The issue of MacArthur possibly collaborating with Curtin to essentially undermine previous policy was another instance of his continued and problematic lack of coordination with his direct superiors. Strategic Planning For Coalition Warfare 1941-1942 (United States Army In World War II official history series) covers the whole issue from the U.S. perspective in Chapter IX (some bad OCR in the html version) and the MacArthur issue on pp 212—213. From the .pdf version a bit on that (my emphasis):
