Boeing 377 Stratocruiser edit

I've listed this article for peer review because this article has never been given a rating before, and I believe it meets GA-class standards.

  • 1. For Criteria #1. All the material in this article is sound with regard to respect of copyrights. All the images meet these guidelines as well, and are sourced from the U.S. Government or museum archives. All spelling and grammatical features are good, and the style of writing effectively conveys the information present.
  • 2. For Criteria #2. It has a good array of sources, from the internet as well as books. The new source I added is a book bought from the Boeing store in Seattle, and is of great detail and merit. All information sourced from smaller enthusiast websites are consistent with information given by Boeing or other textual references of merit. No citations needed or original research
  • 3. For Criteria #3. The article now covers aspects of its inception, its engineering details, order details, company rationale for order, operational history, comparison to contemporaries, and historical references.
  • 4. For Criteria #4. The article describes the airplane very neutrally. It does not claim any level of superiority except that which may be quantified, i.e. performance, airline product, etc.
  • 5. For Criteria #5. Not much editing is done, many clusters of editing are a result of non-user edits which do not meet Wikipedia criteria.
  • 6. For Criteria #6. Every section contains photos, and there are a wealth of archival photos which show the main operators, variants, and other features which give visual backup to the text. No crash photos are available with quality, therefore those are left out.

This article contains a good amount of quality information with regard to all aspects of its service life. The reviewer may note that this plane was produced in small numbers compared to its contemporaries, had few operators, and no examples exist. It is unknown to many people even in aviation (myself an licensed pilot can vouch for this) do not know this airliner exists, and as such, among the best information available has been organized here.

Thanks,
