I feel that logistics is a critical topic that could be better served on encyclopaedias generally and that this looks like a high quality attempt at addressing this deficit. A cursory glance shows this article is close to fulfilling the GA criteria, but I will start my review properly shortly. simongraham (talk) 15:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few instances of discrepancies between the sources that are not included in the article. For example, Bell 2018 p. 45 states that the Chinese estimated the cost to be five billion yuan. The article cites Dod 1966 and an estimate of between two to three billion.
I note that DTIC ADA378204 is on Archive[[1]] as is Wheeler's WWII Bombers Over Japan[[2]]. Do these have any useful insights?
Suggest adding some non-US content, maybe from a Chinese or Japanese perspective. For example, it is mentioned that Hansen was attacked by six Japanese fighters and a passing note of Operation Ichi-Go, but these seem the only mention of Japanese action. Is there anything else in the literature?
I split the article off from the main because the latter was getting too big, and my primary interest is in logistics. Since it is about logistics, the Japanese do not feature as much as in the article on operations. Hawkeye7(discuss)22:49, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest adding some non-US sources. For example, does Xu Jianhong's Zhōng měi liánhé: Měiguó lù háng zài èrzhàn zhōngguó zhànchǎng (United States and China: U.S. Army Aviation in the Chinese Battlefield of World War II), available on Google books[[3]] offer any additional insights?
Although not a GA criterion, I suggest adding ALT to the images for accessibility.
The sentence "The idea of basing the Superfortresses in China first surfaced at the Casablanca Conference in January 1943." is a direct copy from Haulman 1999. Suggest rewording.
The majority of lists seem to not use the Oxford comma, (such as "repairs, salvage, removal and replacement") but not in "major overhaul of engines, unit assemblies, accessories, and auxiliary equipment, and the emergency fabrication of parts". Suggest also rewording to avoid the complex list.
Suggest comma before independent clauses, such as "and the B-29s left the logistically difficult and increasingly vulnerable bases in China in January 1945"
Suggest it is either "dual-role" or "dual roles" in "dual role of chief engineer of the 5308th Air Service Area Command and chief engineer of the Fourteenth Air Force"
