Talk:Elliot See

message: Where exactly was the building See and Bassett crashed into?  This article makes it sound like they just crashed into a building at the airport, but I distinctly remember reading that, in a tragic irony, they were on their way to inspect their Gemini 9 capsule and crashed into the very building that housed it!  The Lambert Field article notes that "McDonnell Douglass had its world headquarters adjacent to the airport." Can we track this down? JustinTime55 (talk) 20:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I was writing the section on his schooling, and it got into his midshipmen days, and I realized I do not know what that means. Would you like to take a crack at writing that paragraph? Perhaps the military career too if you are feeling up to it, but I may be able to handle that. I plan to take this to FA at some point. Kees08 (Talk) 05:17, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Done. It would be good if you could expand the NASA section.  Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a picture - remove it if you don't like it. An error in Burgess & Dolan was really bothering me - the claim that he toured the Med on USS Boxer. Having consulted the cruise books, I am certain that it was on USS Randolph.  Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:13, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Up to you to expand the NASA part. He gave a brief interview to Life magazine   Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:17, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, looks great so far. I'll try to get the rest up to snuff; been a bit under the weather again so took a short break. Kees08 (Talk) 03:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Military career 

message: Replying to the insufficient sources comment, I can see that being an issue for FAC. I am going to populate some more possible sources on the talk page to add between A-class and a possible FAC; once I get them all into the article we can re-review to see if a FAC is feasible.

replies: text: Burgess and Doolan are quoting from an interview with See. It would be great if we could find it.  Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:38, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: At least some of it is pretty close to identical to the LIFE source I posted above. Where do you see that there was an interview? I have the book right in front of me. Kees08 (Talk) 00:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The use of direct quotes and "told an interviewer". But it could have been to Life magazine. I did dig up some sources, including his USS Boxer tour book. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:10, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

text: Of course, after I say that I find a new GE source about his time there. Will try to incorporate that soon. Kees08 (Talk) 07:33, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
