I will review this one, comments to follow. Zawed (talk) 05:28, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

"...plan many Air raids on Japan...": lower case a for Air.
- Fixed 04:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Background

wikilink USAAF and recite it in full on first usage as the abbreviation is used later in the article)
- Done Nick-D (talk) 04:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Photo reconnaissance sortie

wikilink California, Oahu, Kwajalein, Brigadier General, 47th Sentai? If no link for the latter, maybe a note to explain what it is - I assume a squadron or wing?
- I think California would be over-linking given the relevant location there is linked, but I've linked the others.
"...American airmen took 7000..."; for consistency with the presentation of numbers in the rest of the article, shouldn't it be 7,000?
- Done Nick-D (talk) 04:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff

Consider, for sake of presentation, putting the notes into columns (suggestion only).
- Done Nick-D (talk) 04:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Consider putting an image in? There is one of a F-13 on the B29 page.
- Done. I couldn't find a good and clearly PD one though! Nick-D (talk) 04:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this article reads well, is fully cited and neutral in tone, and has reasonable coverage of the subject. I will check back on progress in a few days. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 06:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the review - I'll follow up on your comments tomorrow or over the weekend Nick-D (talk) 10:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that I've now responded to all your comments. Nick-D (talk) 04:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, looks good Nick, passing as a GA now. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 09:01, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
