This article is in active development and will be improving over the next few days/weeks with references, photos, and additional content in related articles. Thayne Harbaugh ( talk) 05:59, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
I've been unable to sign onto my Wikipedia account for years--got no responses and gave up trying but still like to contribute when possible.
Article says Col. Davis' father served with the Rough Riders in 1898. I found a Salt Lake obit on the colonel giving his father's name as John Henry Davis but this roster of RR personnel does not list a Davis of that name. http://www.spanamwar.com/rrroster.htm
I'm not trying to change the text because I cannot prove that the RR claim is inaccurate, but it does appear "iffy."
However, I did change the text describing Col. Davis as a fighter ace. USAF Historical Study 85 shows him with three aerial victories, not five.
