Talk:George Brett (general)

Article name

I'm not sure the dismabiguator currently used is particularly helpful. It seems more typical to use something like USAAF officer, which gives a bit more context as to who and when he served. David Underdown (talk) 10:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd go with that - we use "RAF officer" and "RAAF officer" as qualifiers where applicable. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:57, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

There are no existing articles with USAAF officer as the dismabiguator, but there are two with USAF officer. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Not sure whether the std is supposed to be ultimate name of the branch in which they served (he was in the USAF after the war for a bit) or its most ubiquitous name during his service life (USAAF). I'd have thought you could argue the former and pick "USAF officer" in Brett's case but there'll surely be examples where we'd have to dab to USAAF because they died before it changed.

Like Kenneth Walker? He died in 1943. He competes with Kenneth Walker (author) but there is no disambig page... Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:23, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

It looks like there's only one George Brett on the site who was a military figure, so the disambiguator can't really confuse anyone. Interesting that he has the same full name (George Howard Brett) as the baseball player who usually first comes to mind when you say George Brett. 174.99.95.218 (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

The baseball player was, according to his father, named after the military Brett. --Mragsdale (talk) 16:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Personal papers

Some of General Brett's papers are now in the collection of the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Is there an appropriate place on the entry to indicate that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mragsdale (talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Biographical aricles normally end with something like "his papers are in xxxx". Do you have a source? Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I have a copy of the finding aid somewhere (pdf) but not an online source I can link to. --Mragsdale (talk) 17:32, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
