Betty Clements

... that Betty Clements was mistakenly selected for secret missions associated with the Manhattan Project? Source: "Following her training, Clements was assigned a supersecret mission related to the atomic bomb missions. Reportedly, Col. Paul W. Tibbetts Jr. requested a pilot from Washington with specified flying capabilities of a certain age and the ability to keep confidentiality. It was later reported that “[s]omeone in Washington evidently flipped a card file and pulled out G.E. Clements, not looking to see that G.E. was a she. ”Clements took orders and reported to Wendover Field in Utah where the officers who greeted her were allegedly amazed when a woman stepped out of the cockpit."[1] "she flew as part of the Manhattan Project for the atomic bomb in the United States"[2]

Reserving this, will review either later today or tomorrow. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:57, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article is new, long enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. However, some corrections are needed: Her birth date, birth place and parnts are sourced in ref #2, and not in ref #1. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports 15% to 32% text similiraty, commenting "violation unlikely". The hooks are well-formatted and interesting. The lengths are within limit. Image is included in the article, and is ©-free. QPQ is missing. I will approve after above mentioned issues are adderessed. CeeGee 12:06, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT3 ... that during World War II, pilot G. E. Clements was removed from training for secret missions associated with the Manhattan Project when senior officers realized she was a woman? (Image caption would then be G. E. "Betty" Clements). Philafrenzy (talk) 15:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
