"He entered the college in 1909 and graduated in 1913 with a bachelor of letters degree." - Did he go to Princeton? = Yes.
Done Worded He entered the college in 1909 and graduated in 1913 with a bachelor of letters degree from Princeton. = Will that work?

The early life section has three straight sentences starting with "He ...", can this be varied some?
Done

"They licensed and further developed the seminal designs of Harold Frederick Pitcairn and Juan de la Cierva for an autogyro." - Source doesn't seem to mention Pitcarin or de la Cierva
Done Cited books Charnov|2003|pages=59-69 and Crouch|2004|page 465. Cited Verti-flite journal with quote. Juan de la Cierva was the original inventor of the autogyro. The previous sentence says, In 1929 he founded the Kellett Autogiro Corporation with his brother Rodney and Charles Townsend Ludington and his brother Nicholas. = it has ref #12 of Charnov, p. 67. This is where I got the idea from of seminal designs of Harold Frederick Pitcairn and Juan de la Cierva. I have put in a request to my library to get the Charnov book of "Autogiro to Gyroplane," however it is an ILL book from across the state and will take a couple of weeks to get the book to scan in pages 59 -69.

" The roof was 100,000 square feet" - Recommend adding a conversion to square meters as well, since this is an article that could also be of interest to those in countries using the metric system.
Done

"on an eight mile trip from an airport " - Same as above, but with km this time.
Done

"Kellett died at the age of 60 at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia on July 22, 1951" - Would've been 59, I believe, as his 60th birthday wouldn't be until December.
Done

Sources all appears to be reliable, and image licensing checks out. Placing on hold; these points shouldn't be too hard to fix. Hog Farm _Talk 19:22, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: Gave two book references and one journal reference (with quote) for seminal designs of Harold Frederick Pitcairn and Juan de la Cierva for licenses to develop the technology.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: Expanded article (with reference) on licensing with the sentence that starts with In 1931, Kellett Atogiro...--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now, will promote. Another interesting article on a subject I wasn't familiar with. Hog Farm _Talk 20:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
