Is this a typo? "draw attentions away from his wife's vocal opposition to the war...", specifically I think "attentions" should be sigular, i.e. "attention".
"attentions" refer to the different levels of attention of multiple people. Collective "attention" of the public also makes sense but as far as I know they are interchangeable. Kind of like the difference between "people's hearts and minds" and "the heart and mind of the people." —Ed!(talk)19:41, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article is a little repeatitive. In particular in the "Medal of Honor action" section you write: "Davis was one of only 31 pilots in US aviation history with over 20 victories" and later "Throughout his career, Davis was credited with 21 confirmed victories, one probable victory and two aircraft damaged. This made him one of only 30 US pilots to gain more than 20 confirmed victories over their careers..." in the "Aerial Victory credits" section. You could probably trim one of these sections. Perhaps remove the first sentence (from the Medal of Honor Action section) and keep the second (that in the Aerial Victory credits section)? Anotherclown (talk) 01:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Then it would be a good idea to remove the statement "It was returned to the US after the end of the war in 1953." until a source can confirm this statement, since Davis is still officially MIA, not KIA. Jim101 (talk) 17:06, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ed, can you double check your source Texas Cemeteries: The Resting Places of Famous, Infamous, and Just Plain Interesting Texans to see if Davis' grave is a real grave or a cenotaph? Also, shouldn't the Place of burial field in the infobox changed to something like Lubbock, Texas USA (cenotaph) or Unknown? Jim101 (talk) 00:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I looked through all my sources again. I can't find anything explicitly stating his resting place or what became of his body after the Chinese recovered it. Only that there is a monument of some kind for him in Lubbock, Texas. —Ed!(talk)02:25, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Texas Cemeteries: The Resting Places of Famous, Infamous, and Just Plain Interesting Texans, that is an awesome publication.
The sidebox in §Length of Tour is an excellent example of how to "illustrate" with a primary source.
There is an excellent balance of sources, making use of scholarly, militaria, and the most appropriate sources published near the event. The view of the opposing force has been sought in scholarly sources.
References: Watch for full-stops at the end of the references, some like "Zhang 2004, p. 158." have them, most don't.
Spotchecked for facts/plagiarism: fn2, 23, 35 (yes, the easy ones); they're all good.
Support: I made any edits that I would have suggested. Feel free to revert if you disagree. In terms of a tech review, there were no dabs and ext links all worked. Some of the images have alt text, while others don't. You may wish to add this in before taking it to FAC. I think the images are licenced correctly, but I'm not exactly an expert on these matters.
