I'll take this one, comments will follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 09:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Comments as follows:

Lead

• This reads OK

Background

• This reads OK

Nieuport 10 Triplane

• Do we have a time frame for construction; presumably it was in 1915 if this is when the staggered wing arrangement was invented?
  • It was patented on 10 Jan 1916, so presumably built in 1915, but no date of first flight is available.
• The aircraft was tested by the French in 1916,: presumably this testing was done by the French Army Aviation? Also approx timeframe?
  • No more specific date is known.

Nieuport 17 Triplane

• Trenchard ordered the aircraft transferred to home for more thorough testing which were : suggest swapping out 'home' for 'England'. Also 'were' for 'was'
  • Good idea to be more specific, but I'm not sure what you comment about swapping "were" for "was" applies to.
• The summary report showed: I would add 'RFC' ahead of 'summary'
• Over all is one word.

Nieuport 17bis triplane

• The fighter retained the same layout as the earlier single seater.: I assume you mean wing layout. Also specify which single seater
  • The Nieuport 10 version was a two seater.
    • Dur. Uppercut self-administered. Zawed (talk) 08:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
• may have been because the biplane may have been : repeated 'may have been'

Bibliography

• The Owers ref lacks sufficient info for place of publication
  • The n.p. means no place of publication given
    • It suddenly came to me a few days afterwards what that n.p. meant, but by then you had already responded. A further uppercut self-administered. Zawed (talk) 08:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Other stuff

• No dupe links
• Image tags look fine.

That's it for me. Zawed (talk) 10:21, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review this. See if my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:38, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

All the changes look acceptable to me, and I made a couple more tweaks to close this all off. Happy to pass as GA as I believe that the article meets the necessary criteria. Zawed (talk) 08:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
