* The 9th Fighter Squadron of the [[49th Fighter Group]] attached to the United States' [[5th Air Force]] gained the nickname "Humpty Doo Fighters" while stationed in the area in 1942. The squadron was accommodated in a camp referred to by [[Lucien Hubbard]] as Humpty Doo after the cattle station with the same name while acting as a publicity correspondent. The actual campsite location was further south than the township of Humpty Doo, to the east of Noonamah.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flyingknights.net/humptydoo.htm |title=Fighters at Humpty Doo |publisher=Flying Knights Model Aircraft Club |access-date=2012-06-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120317125537/http://www.flyingknights.net/humptydoo.htm |archive-date=2012-03-17 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
