This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:24, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
@Zanhe: is there a way you could phrase this hook so it doesn't sound so uncertain? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: The hook is uncertain because there's no agreement who should be considered China's first aviator. Dikötter et al. consider Lee the first, while others credit Feng Ru as the first, who was an earlier aviator and a Chinese national, but spent almost his entire career in the US, which is why he was excluded by Dikötter. -Zanhe (talk) 21:01, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
