• - QPQ needed yet. Article is a recently promoted GA, looks policy compliant (I tracked down the RSN discussion where The Aerodrome was deemed to be at least minimally reliable). Can't verify the offline sources, but willing to AGF. Preference for ALT1, as ALT0 seems fairly bland for me, while him commanding a squadron at a young age is interesting. Get a QPQ, and this should be ready. Hooks cited inline. Hog Farm _Bacon 04:21, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

• The catch to ALT0 is, there was no Poland during World War I.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

• That's true but many reader's don't know that. (t · c) buidhe 09:32, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
