Who wrote the original entry for Janusz Zurakowski?
This article, a number of times, used words like noble, brave, reknowned, etc, which is quite inappropriate, rather like desribing a general as a badass or coward, etc. The opinion that Zurakowski was noble, etc, is self proved by his actions and medals (i.e. to win a V.M.) and be an ace fighter pilot.

It said "This was the first new aerobatic jet manoeuvre in 20 years. [1]", referring to a event in 1951. But jet aircraft with aerobatic capability had only been flying for about 7 years; we must avoid hype, obvious or otherwise. I would have rephrased the comment, but did not know what was supposed to be special: the manoeuvre, or that it was done in a jet. Feel free to rephrase. TSRL ( talk) 22:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

The section in Post war about deck landing practice on dummy deck painted on an airfield makes it sound as if this was something unusual rather than standard practice for every pilot being trained in deck landing. ADDLS (Aerodrome Dummy Deck Landings) were a regular entry in every log book. 212.159.44.170 ( talk) 15:48, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Looking for this subject Janusz Żurakowski, I made what will be the normal English-speaking mistake of spelling the name with "Z" rather than the accented character "Ż". Wikipedia sent me to another article about the naming of planetary bodies and failed to offer this article. Might someone cleverer than me - presumably an established editor - make the connection for us ? Rupert Butler ( talk) 12:44, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
