• curprev 16:2016:20, 22 August 2024 Newtack101 talk contribs 96,057 bytes −538 Undid revision 1241687601 by Originalcola (talk) There is nothing in this article to justify calling Mitchell THE father of the air force. It's a hyperbolic claim and always has been. This epithet is not mentioned anywhere else in the article, it is not mentioned in the first source cited in support of it in the lead, and is only mentioned once, as a quote from one Senator, in the other. undo Tag: Undo
• curprev 16:0216:02, 22 August 2024 Originalcola talk contribs 96,595 bytes +538 Undid revision 1241517698 by Newtack101 (talk) The statement is developed further in the article by explaining his role in US airforce development. It makes sense to include the moniker that he is well known for in the opening of the lead and this is also the case on other pages where the individual is considered the parent of something the phrase is mentioned once in the lead. undo Tags: Undo Reverted

• curprev 15:5915:59, 21 August 2024 Newtack101 talk contribs 97,449 bytes +1,181 Added back the statement for balance regarding the epithet of "father of the United States Air Force." Added the two sentences that I had omitted, as they didn't seem necessary (no one is denying that Mitchell wasn't important). However this recent book by a well-regarded expert states in no uncertain terms that Patrick, Fechet, Foulois, and Westover were the "leaders [that] truly brough the [Air Force] into existence...NOT Mitchell. This statement is necessary to reflect current research. undo Tag: Reverted
• curprev 15:4015:40, 21 August 2024 Originalcola talk contribs 96,268 bytes −1,076 Reverted edit that claimed to add balance to lead. The quoted passage omits 2 sentences:"Unequivocally, Mitchell is important. However, this focus obscures so many of Mitchell’s contemporaries". The source cited makes reference to the epithet referring to him as the father of the air force and to his leading role in the formation of the US air force, as well as acknowledging that most histories focus on his central role. To say his role is disputed is unequivocally false. undo
