...is problematic because it makes a factually inaccurate claim in the same breath as it mentions Uzelac's ethnicity:

The Krajina Serbs, known to the rest of Europe as 'Croats', fought hard and often in Habsburg wars, and South Slav names - Vukassovitch, Wojnowitsch, Boroevic (who added the noble predicate 'von Bojna') - were all over the Austrian army lists, right up to 1918, when they included even the chief of the air force, Uzelac [...]

However, the famous Vukassovich was Josef Philipp Vukassovich, who was actually a Croat, not a Serb, at least according to the available sources. The general sentiment is warranted, but still fuzzy, because not the entire population of the Military Frontier were Serb Orthodox. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 14:06, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

It would seem to me that a quick survey of Google Books results indicates that this chap's common name in English sources is Emil Uzelac (61 hits), not Milan Emil Uzelac (2 hits). Thoughts? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
