Classic - PA F*cks Up Again!

Anyone seen the new Airman magazine, the one titled 'The Air Force at 60'? Look at page 6, at top. Verbatim...

Brig. Gen. William "Billly" Mitchell stands by a Vought VE-7 Bluebird...

Yep, three l's in "Billy"...I guess it's not like he is well-known in USAF history! :thumbsup:

And page 11...

Brig. Gen. Anthony C. Mcauliffe, artillery commander of the 101st Airborne Division...

The correct spelling of Gen McAuliffe's name is with a capital A. He is attributed for the well-known reply of “Nuts” at Bastogne.

Considering that those who put this little tribute together probably scored MSMs for their efforts, you'd think they would have spent a little time proofreading the damn thing! I found both of these errors within the first minute of looking through it.

Cheers! M2

They should make one of those AF commercials that shows a kid getting a C+ on a history report. "Public Affairs: We've been waiting for you"

Hahaha, awesome. Even better would be some high school kid getting an algebra test back or something w/ a huge red F- at the top..."Finance: we've been waiting for you."
