Emil Lang (fighter ace)

Please review the article and assess for B-class as well. His personal background is very thin so I'd appreciate pointers to references that may shed more light on his private life. Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 16:48, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

• What unit was he in as a transport pilot?

• Place of publication needed for most references.

Strange, I only found two omissions for Osprey publishing which are now fixed. Most to me means more than 50%. How do you define most? MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

The Thomas book still needs one.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Again, you amaze me. I took the liberty of adding some commas, and fixing a sentence or two that had some germanisms, and a couple of MOS quirks. Nicely done. Do you have more on him? Is there any data on the typical age of pilots, which would allow you to expand that part of the article more? Some of your other articles have contextualized the careers of these men better, with some additional information about what was happening generally in the war at that point. Did Lang marry (if you have that, I apologize, but I missed it). Auntieruth55 (talk) 21:32, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Nice article (what I'd expect)...! Aside from the copyediting I performed, just a few things:

• Don't think you need capitalise and italicise flying ace. In fact I usually see it simply linked and nothing else. Personally I wouldn't bother with the A flying ace or fighter ace is... bit either because the term is linked and it's fairly common, but I know you've done it elsewhere so you may want to leave it for consistency's sake.
• The pic of him with Hitler and Goering could stand enlarging as there's a fair bit of detail in it.
• Concur with Ruth about any personal details or other information. Generally GAs go into a bit more depth than this in my experience. I mean if we know he didn't marry, for instance, perhaps best we spell that out since at his age you'd certainly have expected it.
• Award for German Cross in Gold (25 November 1943) isn't cited.
• Do I assume you've consistently used "(flying ace)" as a dab for this series of articles? If there's enough precedence, fair enough, but I know for Commonwealth pilots we tend to use "(RAF officer)", "(RAAF officer)", etc, not distinguishing whether they're aces or not.
