Cited fact positively confirmed by source, although the citation says the medal was for his work on Blue Bird K4, which doesn't appear to be called "Blue Bird II" anywhere in the Blue Bird K4 article? Could this be clarified, perhaps in the K4 article if Blue Bird II is an alternative name for the craft? Rob (talk) 00:37, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
