Ed Pepping & Stick 66
On Sept. 18, 2020, an anonymous editor added this line to the "Destruction of Stick 66" section: "Another near miss was experienced by medic Ed Pepping who was swapped out from the doomed plane with another medic, Ernie Oats at the last minute" with the citation "We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories From the Band of Brothers (2009), Chapter 25 Thoughts on Heroism, Ed Pepping". This seems to indicate that Oats took Pepping's place on the plane and was consequently killed, but it's not fully clear, so I've removed the text here until someone (perhaps with access to the cited book?) can render it clearly.

In Stick 66, third phrase: "The pilot did a 180-degree turn and turned the landing lights coming on as the plane lost altitude" it could just be a remnant of previous editing, the word "coming" is unnecessary. Thank you all for a great page Netweezurd (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Should these officers be included in the list?
The "Notable Personnel" section includes the following:
Major General Maxwell D. Taylor (101st Airborne Division CO) (26 August 1901 – 19 April 1987)
Brigadier General Anthony C. McAuliffe (101st Airborne Division Artillery Officer, later acting 101st Airborne Division CO) (2 July 1898 – 11 August 1975)
Colonel Robert Frederick Sink (506th Regiment CO) (3 April 1905 – 13 December 1965)
Although E Company was a component of their respective commands, none of these individuals were actually attached to the company per se. Should they be included here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.81.84 (talk) 17:43, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
