Article contributes to a common misconception that the WASP were members of the military before they were disbanded. They served as civilians; see many sources or: http://www.afhistory.af.mil/FAQs/Fact-Sheets/Article/458964/womens-airforce-service-pilots-wasp/ Article can be fixed by reference to citations already included in the WASP article which show the WASP were only given veteran status almost 30 years later, and change "eventually" to the actual date: "23 November 1977, President Carter signed Public Law 95-202, Title IV, which granted former WASPs veteran status with limited benefits" [ibid]
Prose and MOS - I made a couple of minor tweaks, but looks fine.
Broadness and focus - fine
Stability - fine
Images - one image, appropriately licensed
Neutrality - fine
Sources - reliable, and well-referenced without original research
Factual accuracy and verifiability - the only question / comment I have is about "As of 2011 she remains active as a lecturer, consultant, and curator of the Aeronautical Library Special Collections at Harvey Mudd" in the lead, and the similarly worded text in the body of the article, "Since her official retirement she has remained active on several faculty projects at Harvey Mudd College, in addition to working as a lecturer, consultant, and curator of the Aeronautical Library Special Collections at the university's Sprague Library". This is based on this reference, which dates from 2006. Is there anything to show what she's been doing since 2006?
Other comments or suggestions - are there any aviation-related categories / USC categories into which she can be put?
Well I found this, which I thought was encouraging, but her event was in 2008, not 2011 as I originally believed. I've changed the wording of the introduction somewhat to hopefully address this. I also added a handful of categories, trying to avoid any redundancies. Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done! CanadianPaul05:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Very glad to read this about Mrs. C. Kudos to whomever wrote this up. She was enormously influential on my life, and I learned so much about everything from her while I was in the Bates program.
