[edit] Marechal-do-Ar

Wouldn't Marshal of the Air Force be a better translation than Air Marshal? Greenshed 19:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FAB in 1822?

The Lead has the following sentence:

This article presents the insignia and ranks of the Brazilian military. These ranks were originally adopted upon Brazil's independence from Portugal in 1822.

Given that the Brazilian Air Force has a unique rank system, and does not use the Brazilian Army's system, I sincerely doubt the FAB was around in 1822. This sentence needs to be changed to be more clear. The date the FAB's ranks were implemented would be good to have, if someone has a reliable source for that. - BillCJ (talk) 12:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
