Talk:John Alexander Douglas McCurdy

message: The article has been changed to say that McCurdy was the second person to fly in Canada rather than the first.  My understanding, which is confirmed by the reference linked from the article, is that Baldwin's flight was in New York making McCurdy's the first one in Canada.
Does anyone have a reference for him being second?  --Cjrother 02:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: If he was "known as Douglas" McCurdy, then this article probably belongs at Douglas McCurdy in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME.  Does anybody have any further comments on how he was generally known?  Usage in various types of sources?
Furthermore, in any case it is totally unacceptable that that Douglas McCurdy link is still red. See WP:redirect. Gene Nygaard 13:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says he was born in Nova Scotia and was the first British subject to fly an aircraft in the British Empire. Were people living in what is now known as Canada still British subjects then? What is the British Empire? Is Commonwealth meant? --Cornellier (talk) 03:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
