Why this is better

Body text corrections (unverified researcher name and pilot population/percentage) were already correctly applied at their primary locations, but two supporting citations were missing entirely from the Sources & Further Reading bibliography, and the FAQ field independently repeated the original fabrication (military pilots / 100 percent) even though the body text was fixed. Added both missing citations and corrected the FAQ answer; re-verified the FAQ field still decodes to a valid 5-item array after the fix.
