1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

• No evidence of edit warring is observed.

1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

• Charles Townsend Ludington.jpg = is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code.
• MIT Yearbook 1922 page 275.jpg = is in the public domain in the United States. This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1926,
• Farman Sport traveler.jpg = Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

1. Overall:

• An informative page of a participant in the defence of the Allies in WWII. This life and its contribution ought not be overlooked.
• Repair of the minor issues raised above should see GA status given to this article.       --Whiteguru (talk) 04:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
