My reading of source 2 (Indiana
Historical Society) does not support the claim in the article and the hook, as there is just a somewhat passing mention of "bazooka rockets". Looks like there are better sources to back that up, maybe Archery Hall of Fame & Museum one? I agree that "a developer" is

Source 2 says "he designed and invented work on rockets, recoilless guns, flame throws, bazooka rockets...." Yes, it's a passing mention, and another source could easily be substituted (like the source 6, or archery hall of fame). The lead doesn't necessarily require sourcing if the same claims are

New enough. NOT long enough - DYK check shows only 372 characters (1500 needed), as bulleted lists don't count. QPQ done. As there is so much to be added, I won't check for copyvios etc yet. However, the bazooka claim looks questionnable, as our article credits
Goddard as the main developer.

I hadn't heard of that citation tool for Google Books. Thanks, I used it to expand the two books cited in the article that didn't have links. It may not be helpful here, however, because one book isn't in ebook form, and the other doesn't let you view pages, only snippets.

before? If you copy and paste the Google books URL into the tool, it will usually generate a very full citation to copy and paste into the article. And the AMICA Hall of Fame thing needs mentioning in the body of the article with an inline citation.

Apparently he worked with
Goddard on the bazooka during World War I, but development of the weapon couldn't be completed before the war ended. Then Hickman supervised its completion during World War II, resulting in the bazooka seeing usage in that

Thanks. A secondary source, rather than another encyclopedia (ie tertiary source) would be even better. And it might be a good idea to make the appropriate changes to our
Goddard article. As you say, time is on your side!

I have also expanded the bio significantly, so there is no longer any problem with the length. I've made a tweak to the
Goddard and Bazooka articles to clarify the relationship between Goddard, Hickman, and the bazooka.

Goddard article, Leslie Skinner and Edward Uhl were also involved. Links to some/all of the book sources could be made available for me to check - have you used
