Unsupported items in Article

The statement that Perrin trained dozens of aces implies that the 4780th trained them. If the statement is accurate, it can only refer to Perrin during WW II, since there were not a dozen aces in the USAF from the time the wing was organized. Needs support to be retained in article. Also, statement concerning unit awards is unsupported and unlikely if it refers to Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards. Needs support to be retained in article.

Moved this to New Section. I've marked items in Article needing support. Unit Awards have been partially suppported (2 awards to wing and awards not all made in 1969) and added to Article. Lineagegeek (talk) 03:56, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
