Picking this one up. Review to follow once the Bot checks in. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:08, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. Article is okay. I wouldn't recommend taking it beyond GA though.

Although his full name is mention ed in the lead, it should also be in the body.
Similarly, his nickname of Bones is in the infobox, and is covered by ref 1, but should be in the body.
MOS uses British rather than American ordinals (MOS:ORDINAL) so 32nd not 32nd, 93rd not 93d etc
Link U.S. Readiness Command, MacDill Air Force Base, second lieutenant, P39, Soviet Union, Bendix Trophy (on first occurrence), Tripler Army Medical Center
" 335th FS:" should be "335th FIS" but I'd prefer if it were not abbreviated.
At the start of "Post war" and "Later life", replace "he" with his name.
"30 to 200 miles" Add conversion template so readers will know how far this is
Do we have to have so many paragraphs in a row starting with "In <date>"?
Two different date formats used in the references. Recommend using mdy consistently (although US military bios should use dmy (WP:STRONGNAT)

I have updated the article by following the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh points that you have mentioned. Toadboy123 (talk) 01:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Made additional updates as per your recommendations. However, I am not familiar in using of conversion template for the miles part. Is it possible if you can provide assistance to me for that part only. Toadboy123 (talk) 04:05, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Made the change for you. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
