GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * Watch for Brit vs. American English. Storey is one that I caught. This is awkward: codename modification of B-29s to carry the bombs. Think there's a typo here: And every day you say on your voyage. Missing a word here: Commander, Cruiser Division 6, despite having commanded a ship.
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * Who's the publisher of Furer?
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * What real significance is there to the medal citations?
 * B. Focused:
 * Link time fuze and anti-aircraft. Howitzers are used against ground targets, not aerial ones. This reads awkwardly as a result: However in late 1943, the Army obtained permission for it to be used over land, and a version was developed that could be used with howitzers. It proved particularly effective against the V-1 flying bomb over England, and later Antwerp. Is the bit about his secretary really important?
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:

 * 1) Corrected typos
 * 2) Added publisher. It isn't in the book, but I tracked it down.
 * 3) Links added. Re-ordered the stuff about the various types of VT fuzes. Hope it reads better now. The bit about the secretary is interesting. I wanted to tell the reader about the US Navy's role in the Manhattan Project, but without exaggerating its importance. I think the bit about his secretary puts things in a proper perspective.
