GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)
It is reasonably well written:

"Platt-LePage's submission was judged superior to its competitors" - which of the competitors' models was the XR-1 superior to? And how was it superior? Add a little clarity or links, if possible.
Financial figures would be good too, ie cost of the contract or renegotiations, cost of the models, projected production cost etc.
Done There's contradictorary information in the sources - the Smithsonian says the intial contract was "nearly $500,000", while Francillon's book gives a number just under $200,000 and notes that contract change orders increased the amount. It seems like the Smithsonian number is the final amount (and is likely more accurate), so I've used that. - The BushrangerOne ping only21:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
