... that Brigadier General Harold Huglin was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for leading a bombing raid on Magdeburg during World War II? Source: "For extraordinary achievement while serving as Commander in the Air of a Wing of B-17 aircraft on a heavy bombardment mission against the enemy over Germany, 5 August 1944. The Target on this very deep penetration into enemy territory was an important aircraft and motor works plant at Magdeburg, Germany." ([1])

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. The hook is short on description but adequate. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Images are freely licensed. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Quiskie" consistently from 1929 to at least 1953[edit]

I want to be bold with this but I don't know how to proceed. A 17 June 1929 Army document records Huglin's USMA graduation with his middle name identified as "Quiskie." Congressional Record editions from 1941, 1942, 1945, 1946, etc. consistently identify Huglin's middle name as "Quiskie," as does AFHRA's 1953 Historical Study 91.^[1] I can't explain why USAF's current bio now lists his middle name as "Quiskey." His gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery only lists his middle initial. The question then is, how do I proceed? Adding a footnote to the corrected middle name seems logical enough but I'd like some input. Thanks! Rob Rosenberger (talk) 21:48, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
