Observations
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- In the Lede we read, He was the moving engineer behind the Chrysler Airflow automobile. When you use the term moving do you mean he was the inspiration, the motivator or the designer? Moving is a bit vague.
Done
- Chrysler asked the Breer, Zeder and Skelton → Chrysler asked Breer, Zeder and Skelton
Done
- and 28 other engineers from Studebaker (creme-de-la-creme). ← I am unsure of the purpose of creme-de-la-creme ?
Done
- Even though Chrysler help them gert started → get started
Done
- In 1923 when Breer was on vacation with the family (whose family?) → change to his family.
Done
- The 'Three Musketeers' (Zeder, Skelton, and Breer) → linking to the WP page for three musketeers is a bit pointless here. We read of automotive engineers...
Done
- Carl and Barbara have → had
Done
- Carl and Barbara have 4 children by 1940, → had
Done
