 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hi The Bushranger, review follows: Article created 11 December; article is of good length; article is well written; article is fully cited inline to reliable sources (I see Andreas Parsch's website is cited by several reliable sources so is probably acceptable); hook facts are interesting; Google preview backs up first hook fact; I struck the second hook as the article mentions that the inaccuracy was also a major factor in its abandonment, as well as the development of thermonuclear weapons, I prefer the first hook anyway. If necessary mention of the inaccuracy could be made in ALT1 as a second factor; QPQ has been done - Dumelow (talk) 10:07, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
