- Wonderfully detailed article about a historical find. I like the original hook, it reinforces the message and the mission of the aeroplane's most important flight. The aticle meets length and date requirements and is neutrally written. The hook is correctly cited , and though a little long still reads well. The image was taken recently and is free of copyright issues. Brilliant work.
