New enough (created within last day or so), long enough (prose portion >1800 characters), neutral and well-cited. Random checks of phrases in the entry turn up no suspected copyvio issues. Hook is short enough, interesting, cited and neutral. AGF on offline source for hook; the Parsch source also mentions inflatable bags, though the offline Ordway ref would probably be more reliable. QPQ done. Image is PD (Army), used in entry, and should be fine at DYK size. ALT1 is also fine, but I personally prefer the original hook. Good work - good to go!
