### Initial review
I plan to do a GA class review of this article. I will offer a list of issues and you may either fix them or argue the case for not fixing them. I've skimmed the article and noticed two things that can be addressed. More will follow when I can go over this with more time. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 03:37, 8 August 2025 (UTC) 

The introduction paragraph is very brief and includes only the facts that he was a WW2 ace and the year and rank he retired. Please add a few sentences about the highlights of his post-WW2 career.  Done
I might have missed something, but I did not see any promotions listed between second lieutenant and retirement as a lieutenant general. Please either (a) include promotions in the existing text or (b) add a separate section simply listing his promotions and dates.  Done
@Toadboy123: Both items were done to perfection. Thanks. Starting a line-by-line review now. Djmaschek (talk) 20:22, 9 August 2025 (UTC)


### Review1
@Toadboy123: The article was very well written with no apparent typos or awkward sentences. But please fix the following and it will earn GA class. Djmaschek (talk) 20:58, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

Introduction: Sixth Allied Tactical Air Force (links to Allied Joint Force Command Naples) needs hyperlink.  Done
World War II, paragraph 1, sentence 1: Date "30 March 1942" (d-m-y) not consistent with other dates in article (m-d-y).  Done
US Air Force career, paragraph 1: 61st Fighter Squadron, 56th Fighter Wing and 63rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron (links to 63rd Fighter Squadron) need hyperlinks. The hyperlinks are in the infobox, but I think they should be in the text also.  Done
Later life: Colorado Springs, Colorado and United States Air Force Academy Cemetery need hyperlinks.  Done
Later life: The infobox says he died in Bexar County, Texas. This should be included in the text also.  Done
@Djmaschek: Completed the required parts. Let me know how it is. Toadboy123 (talk) 05:24, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
@Toadboy123: GA class.
