Air Medal? If Bronson flew missions over Japan he almost certainly would have earned an Air Medal. In addition he would also have a World War II Victory Medal and an Asia-Pacific Campaign Medal. These could be added to his biography based on the award criteria of the medals alone.

World's No. 1 box office attraction
Despite written by a reporter in a smaller newspaper, characterizing Bronson as "World's No. 1 box office attraction" in early 1970s does not sound credible. There were hits like Godfather movies (with Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert de Niro) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Jack Nicholson), to name a few.

Inflation conversions
I always find it difficult to interpret historical prices. While I've already made a few additions using the inflation conversion template, there are many that I have not got around to. Can we please add the rest in, where warranted? I also don't want to waste my time if the edits get reverted, so consensus would be useful. Electricmaster (talk) 03:22, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request
In the Early life section, where it mentions his father being of Lipka Tatar descent, please add this source here as very few sources mention this. https://walkoffame.com/charles-bronson/ 2600:100C:A216:3864:78B2:C9B5:2A6A:71BA (talk) 06:36, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
