Major or general

When did he get the rank general? I feel this article lacks a great deal about that --abach 10:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which Base????

Muroc Army Air Field (later renamed Edwards Air Force Base) as listed under Murphy's law or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as listed here?

Good question. This bio article also refers to interpretations of the law which are at variance from the law article's. I have flagged these by adding ^{[citation needed]} in the bio article. Nrlsouza (talk) 23:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Irony

So, Murphy didn't want the aphorism to be generalized, but it was anyway, thereby proving the generalized case correct? M E T A ! --Steve Foerster (talk) 21:30, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Experimental

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the Phantom was not an experimental aircraft. It was a very widely-used production combat plane. IAmNitpicking (talk) 12:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
