Comments I'm quite concerned over the spread of the information which should all be in this article but seems to be across (at least) three articles. There's some work to be done here so I'm going to fail it for the moment, but I'm happy to discuss the way forward, and am content to work with the nominator to work out the best solution.

 * Lead isn't an adequate summary of the whole article, I'd look to tip your hat at every major section.
 * "led to the death" resulted in the death. And I would suggest you state it resulted in the death of X people, including General ....
 * "general Władysław Sikorski and several other passengers. General Władysław Sikorski " firstly, be consistent with the capitalisation of General/general when you use it here, secondly, no need to repeat his rank/first name in the lead.
 * "the Prime Minister of the Polish government in exile" is there a link for Prime Minister? also "government-in-exile" should be hyphenated.
 * "While this catastrophe"... that's too much of a point of view. Neutralise the language.
 * From the lead "The 1943 Gibraltar B-24 crash led" it would be better to not force yourself to repeat the article title, instead write nice prose and say that on 4 July 1943, a Polish Army B-24 Liberator crashed upon takeoff from Gilbratar....
 * Non-English language references need to state (in Polish) or whatever language they're in.
 * Ref 1 seems to be missing a )
 * I'm a little confused why there's a forked article to "Sikorski's death conspiracies" (which isn't a great title unless you know exactly who this particular Sikorski is)... I'd consider merging that article into this one.
 * For a non-expert, it's confusing why it's called a B-24 crash in the article heading and template, but throughout the aircraft is referred to as a Liberator.
 * "other passengers perished" -> "were killed".
 * "Fatalities included: passengers:" strange formatting. Perhaps "Fatalities amongst the passengers included:"
 * "Victor Cazalet" the only fatality not referenced.
 * "Apart from the pilot Eduard Prchal (the only survivor of the crash) all the other five crew members died" not great, perhaps "Of the passengers and six crew, only the pilot Eudaurd Prchal survived"
 * " and might have " -> may.
 * "which is still being investigated by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance.[15][16][17] The investigation is ongoing As of 2012.[18]" merge these, and don't capitalise As mid-sentence.
 * Be selective with the images, that gallery isn't particularly useful. If you merged the conspiracy article to this one, you could place these appropriately.
 * There seems to be more info about the flight itself at Military history of Gibraltar during World War II than in this article.

Most issues addressed, with the exception of lead, merger, and gallery. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:38, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
