McDevitt Street in Vandercook Lake
I have removed the reference to the street in Vandercook Lake, Michigan, because I believe it is an error. Despite its proximity to Jackson College, it seems to be a coincidence. When I used to work at Jackson College, I was told that the street had nothing to do with James McDivitt. Although I cannot provide a citation showing that it is not named for him, I will point out that it is spelled different: "McDevitt" with an E. If someone has a citation showing that there is a McDivitt street in Vandercook Lake named for James McDivitt, then of course it should be re-included. Bunnyhugger (talk) 22:36, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your edit. You are certainly under no obligation to provide a citation that something is not true ("proving a negative"); indeed our guidelines place the burden of verifiability on the person who added the information. The spelling difference by itself seems pretty good proof that it was a mistake. JustinTime55 (talk) 19:48, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

35th Bombardment Squadron?
According to its page the 35th Bombardment Squadron was inactivated on 27 June 1949, so he can't have flown with it during the Korean War. Should this be 35th Fighter Squadron? Mztourist (talk) 08:06, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


 * ✅ Yes. Corrected. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  21:18, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
