Introduction
This is a list of people who have made important contributions to aviation history. It is not a list of history makers, but a list of history savers, recorders, and presenters. Much of the material is taken from a Warbird Information Exchange thread.
Criteria for Inclusion
There have been some objections to the inclusion of certain individuals on this list on the basis that they have a negative reputation. For this reason, this page very intentionally does not use the term "important", but instead "notable" as based on the Wikipedia policy. The intent of this page is neither to pass judgement nor to establish who is deserving of "veneration" and who is not. It is not a "Hall of Fame", but a list of those who have made a significant impact – good or bad – on the history of aviation. In this way, it uses the same criteria as Time magazine for naming their "Person of the Year".
