[edit] Notability?

Since this is going to be questioned (seeing how this was), let me repeat it here. Seems to me if we've got pages on sports nicknames & porn actors, this is defensible. Lots of people have heard of "Desert Fox" & "Boy" Browning, but can't name him (hell, I had to look up Browning's real name!), & might find this useful... And verifiable? These are historical figures. Almost any reputable history book on the given subject will name them. For instance, Kinchloe & Salmon are mentioned by Caidin in Thunderbirds, Vati Mulders is in Caidin's Me-109, von Richthoven needs no defense (tho some of those nicknames I've never heard, they're on his WP page, so...), and most of the others are already sourced on the mil figures page.
