Talk:List of aviators by nickname

Notability?
Since this is going to be questioned (seeing how this was), let me repeat it here. Seems to me if we've got pages on sports nicknames & porn actors, this is defensible. Lots of people have heard of "Desert Fox" & "Boy" Browning, but can't name him (hell, I had to look up Browning's real name!), & might find this useful... And verifiable? These are historical figures. Almost any reputable history book on the given subject will name them. For instance, Kinchloe & Salmon are mentioned by Caidin in Thunderbirds, Vati Mulders is in Caidin's Me-109, von Richthoven needs no defense (tho some of those nicknames I've never heard, they're on his WP page, so...), and most of the others are already sourced on the mil figures page.

Bold names
What's with some of the names being in bold? If there's a reason for it, like to indicate pilots who had towels monogrammed with their nickname or something, then it should appear on the page. If there's no reason other than individual editors' penchants, then the bold should be taken out to keep a consistent style in the page. 59.167.42.156 (talk) 15:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)Dave

A Confederate general?
"Prince John" Magruder obviously pre-dates aviation.

 * In which case, I hope you removed him, since he's obviously put in by mistake.  TREKphiler   hit me ♠  03:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Is this list just about WW1 and WW2 era fighter pilots?
Because there is a youtuber called Jack Stewart CW Lemoine, call sign "mover", piloted F-16 and F-18. There is a whole wikipedia page about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.W._Lemoine
