GA Review
An overview:

well written =Y accuracy =Y thorough =Y NPOV =Y stable =Y images =Y

Some section specefic comments:

Lead

 * Several points in the lead could do with citation. These include "He was also a forceful advocate of the efficacy of strategic bombardment" and "The plan called for the creation of an enormous air force to beat Germany through strategic bombardment".

*"Walker was one of four officers in the Air War Plans Division, which was tasked with developing a production requirements plan for the air war."

Education and early life

 * This section seems to be fine.

World War One

 * "Walker enlisted at Denver, Colorado on 15 December 1917 and took his flying training at the University of California's School of Military Aeronautics and at Mather Field."
 * It might be good to explain what/where Mather Field was rather than assuming the reader knows this.
 * ✅ I had sort of expected that they would click on the link. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:29, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The above point applies to the rest of this mini-section- mayb stating in which state these various training areas are would be helpful.
 * ✅ Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Between the World Wars

 * "While stationed at Post Field, Walker met Marguerite Potter, a sociology graduate of the University of Oklahoma at the Norman campus. The two were married in September 1922."
 * This would benefit from a citation.
 * ✅ It had one. Moved it closer. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:21, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

World War Two

 * "In mid-September 1942, at the height of the Kokoda Track campaign"
 * Do you have a wikilink for the Kokoda Track Campaign?
 * ✅ Yes. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:21, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Legacy

 * This section seems fine.
