I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm dubious that File:Major Tapp with his P-51.png was taken by an official photographer. Looks to me more like an informal photo taken by a friend
  • I don't think that a decal sheet is a RS
  • The missions descriptions are quite good, but the article badly needs information on his promotions and post-war assignments. What did he do after retirement at age 50? Is there a obit from a Ft Collins source that you can reference for this info? Without this I'm afraid that I'll have to fail this as its not reasonably complete as is.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Hi @Sturmvogel 66. Regarding the image, I have removed it due to copyright issues. I have replaced the decal sheet source with another source from a book by Bloomsbury Publishing. Regarding additional information on his promotions and post-war assignments, I am unable to find more and the only sources I can find direct me to his involvement in the USAF missile programs (source). His obituary only provides the fact that he spent time with his family after retirement and moved from places. --Toadboy123 (talk) 05:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
      • I'm sorry to hear that, but you've only managed to cover 4 years of a 29 year career--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:57, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
