151:* Hook is short enough but needs a little more pizazz. I don't think that overcoming racial discrimination is worth mentioning; I doubt there is a successful African-American who hasn't dealt with that. Personally, what caught my eye, and why I'm reviewing this, is that Purnell was a Tuskegee Airman, so I would lean more towards that being the hook. Could I propose the following?:

348:
By "nearby", I meant at the end of the sentence in which the statement occurs, or perhaps the sentence beyond it. Inline citations are presumed to affect the material before them, not after. There was no inline citation following the
Distinguished Flying Cross, so I've added one, and others in places

Nicely done article. The placement of source citations now meets DYK standards, so I'm happy to restore the tick. Since ALT2 has no information that isn't in the previously approved ALT1—it's just reordered—I don't see any conflict of interest in my doing so.

Of course, the article will have to be expanded a bit to include the piece about the escort missions and DFC. This is my very first DYK review, and I will be delighted to get some additional insights on

The assertion that he was a "noted curator" is not supported by inline sourcing, nor is the
Distinguished Flying Cross. (The citation must be nearby.) Using "noted" is questionable due to

I meant to thank you for your review. I have added a clause on the 88 missions to the article, so the alternative may be used; I have no objection, if that is what others really want.

So, the fact is undisputed as is his decoration, which is sourced in multiple places in the article near the statements in question. But this alternative is fine too.

201:
Overcoming racism is interesting to me but I just think he's an interesting guy, so please feel free to add to the article more about his missions.
231:
I got one other reviewer to look at this, who liked the Alt 1 better, so with that I believe that this article and Alt1 hook are good to go.
