- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- The picture is excellent, but needs to be placed on the right-hand side so as not to cut into the heading of the section under it.
- It doesn't cut into the following heading on my screne, but I can move it up a little if you wish. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- 'Flying Supermarine Spitfires, the party took off from the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle' - My Malta history isn't so hot, but didn't they have to fight their way through some Axis aircraft to land?
- Nothing mentioned in my sources. Though, the Axis' major aerial attack commenced the following month. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- "contend with fatigue and inadequate rations while battling the enemy's superior forces" - Is this from the source cited at the end of the next sentence? If not, it needs its own citation.
- Same source. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- 'Brennan scored further victories on 10 May' - What were these victories?
- Aerial victories; now clarified. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Can Hesselyn or Bateson be wikilinked?
- Batson done, but Hesselyn does not have an article so I didn't link him, though I can if you wish. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- 'During this time, Brennan shared his combat experiences with his fellow pilots' - This is unclear. Do you mean he spoke to them about his experiences, or 'experienced' them as in fought alongside them?
- Clarified. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

An excellent article, which only needs a few things tended to before I'll pass it as GA-Class. Skinny87 (talk) 13:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
