Improved to Good Article status by Hog Farm (talk). Self-nominated at 03:49, 12 January 2021 (UTC).
Hi Hog Farm, review follows: article moved to mainspace 19 December, some of the background content was copied from another article but this is attributed in the history and new content is in excess of the minimum requirement; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I've only got access to limited Google previews but noticed no overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on these; hooks are interesting, ALT1 is mentioned in the article and supported by the source; ALT0, I think needs a little tweak; the source and article both seem to state that the guns were referred to as "flying artillery", not the unit? a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 08:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
