Early birds of aviation

edit

The description of Early Birds of Aviation is confusing and just plain wrong in the opening. The Early Birds of Aviation is a later, post-1916 group made up of those who had flow through that date. The cut off is arbitrary and extremely Amero-centric, focusing on when the US entered WWI, and ignoring the large numbers of people flying for both sides from the beginning of WWI making porbably some date in mid-1914 the best worldwide cut off. The opening is unclear if it is saying that Acre was one of those who flew before that date, or if his connections with the later memorial club, is what merits the article. We really need clearer language, and to be clear that the Early Birds of Aviation is a later organization of those who had flown before a certain date, not the sum total of all those who flew before a certain date.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:07, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
