This article is in pretty good shape. I have a few comments:

Lead

• cold war is a proper noun in this case, so Cold War

• V-bombers as a term is a bit esoteric, should probably be introduced in terms of being the strategic nuclear bombers, just a suggestion

• Under the Project E

• Having introduced the V-bombers, we then find that the first to carry these bombs were Canberra's. Suggest also adding what year the Canberra's were replaced

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• These were replaced by Vickers Valiant bombers as the long-range Avro Vulcan and Handley Page Victor replaced them in the strategic role doesn't make sense to me ie two replacements.

• This may be answered earlier, but did Project E weapons equip Canberra's, in which case, it wasn't just V-bombers

  Yes. Note that their replacement by the Valiants in the NATO role didn't mean the Canberras stopped carrying nuclear weapons. They just stopped carrying Project E weapons. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Background

• which the it

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• that replaced the Quebec Agreement's

Negotiations

• link Blue Danube (nuclear weapon) rather than just Blue Danube, which is a dab page

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• suggest for athe generous offer

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

• suggest The McMahon Act was amended in August 1954 if that is what is meant

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

• V-bomber and V-Bomber is used, I suggest choosing one. I'd also suggest that the term seems to refer only to strategic bombers, not tactical ones, but is also used to refer to all nuclear-capable bombers, including the Canberra, which was not a V-bomber. Perhaps the article should just refer to nuclear-capable bombers up to this point?

  No, the terms refers to bombers with names starting in a V: Valiant, Vulcan and Victor. The first was a sort of interim design. It entered service first, but did not have the desired range. As the Victors and Vulcans became available, it was relegated to the tactical role. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Implementation

• suggest specifying the Third Air Force was a US one

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

• specify what SACEUR was before using the acronym

   Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

• with their Mark 7 bombs stored within RAF Germany

• Red Beard links to a film, and is linked twice

  Y Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

• Manhattan Project, RAF Marham, W7 warhead are overlinked
