The AI Mk. IV was, according to nominator Maury Markowitz, "the world's first air-to-air radar system. Its development took almost five years and is a story full of false starts, lucky breaks and bureaucratic infighting."
Better known simply as Lafayette, a vital figure in the histories of two nations, France and the United States. This article achieved GA and A-Class status in 2008 but failed a subsequent FAC. This year Wehwalt gave the article a going-over and it was successfully re-reviewed at ACR before finally achieving FA status.
For something a little different in Hawkeye's continuing series of articles relating to the
Manhattan Project, this concerns not a scientist, a weapon, or a facility, but the first official administrative history written on the development of the atomic bomb.
New featured topics
No. 90 Wing's commander and two staff officers in 1950
This featured topic (involving articles developed by The Bugle's editors) comprises
No. 90 Wing RAAF, which commanded the Royal Australian Air Force units deployed to Malaya in the early 1950s, and its two constituent flying units:
No. 1 Squadron and
No. 38 Squadron. The articles on No. 90 Wing and on No. 38 Squadron reached GA and FA status respectively in 2013 (with No. 90 Wing subsequently passing an A-class review in 2014), and the No. 1 Squadron article was promoted to FA status in 2014.
Hendrik Merkus, Baron de Kock, Lieutenant-Governor of the Dutch East Indies, best known for his actions in the
Java War, which included arresting Prince
Diponegoro, the leader of the rebellion, when Diponegoro had been invited to negotiate under a flag of truce. Painted by Cornelius Kruseman
The latest in Sturmvogel's series on British aircraft carriers covers the career of a vessel which was commissioned early in World War II, and saw very extensive combat around the world during that conflict. She participated in operations in the Arctic and Mediterranean Seas, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, and was heavily damaged on two occasions. Following the war she soldiered on until 1955 as a training and test carrier and occasional troopship.
William of Wrotham was a medieval English naval administrator and clergyman who commanded various English fleets during the early 1200s, and played a key role in developing a naval dockyard at
Portsmouth (which remains a key base of the Royal Navy).
Another of Auntieruth55's detailed articles on battles of the French Revolutionary Wars, this article covers an engagement fought between French and Austrian forces near the modern town of
Huningue in France between November 1796 and February the next year. The seige followed on from the
Battle of Schliengen, which Auntieruth55 has recently developed to FA status, and ended in a victory for the Austrian forces.
The two Fuji class warships were the first of many battleships to be operated by the
Imperial Japanese Navy. Built in the UK, they entered service in 1897 and saw combat during the Russo-Japanese War. The second of the class,
Yashima was sunk during this conflict, but
Fuji survived and was used in training roles during World Wars I and II.
Hawkeye7 continued his series of articles of senior Allied officers in the
Southwest Pacific Area with this biography of a United States Army Air Forces general who served in key roles from 1942 and eventually commanded the Fifth Air Force. His son and a grandson also reached the rank of general in the United States Air Force.

Sorry about that! Looking again, I missed it because the bot was acting up -- I verify promotions during the month by checking the history of the MilHist announcements template, and Smyth Report was caught up in the mass delete and reversion towards the end of the month so didn't stand out. If the bot's good again then such an oversight probably won't re-occur -- anyway, will add it in now. Cheers,

Only at this point did I notice that
Jack Parsons (rocket engineer) is not classed as a MilHist article. I think it should be. Could someone have a look?
