Military Aircraft of the United States with Bird or Bird-Like Names (Part 1)

This list was initially prepared with the help of Emmanuel Gustin's comprehensive Military Aircraft Database for the United States. I later discovered Joe Baugher's Encyclopedia of American Military Aircraft. Baugher's list is an excellent complement to Gustin's, often providing more extensive descriptions of some aircraft types. These were my two primary sources of information on military aircraft with bird or bird-like names.
