Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Notwithstanding the blockquote, there are a few sentences that may need to be paraphrased, per analysis. E.g. "Junkers Ju87 (confirmed) and a Henschel Hs126 (unconfirmed) on 15th May."
- Other problems:
- There are a few things that might need to be cleaned up per MOS (e.g. no spaces before commas) but this can be easily fixed.
