[edit] Johnny or Johnnie?
I have it on good authority, that the name "Johnnie" was his nickname and this was the spelling. I have been told that he was named in similar fashion to another fighter ace Johnnie Johnson, who is also mentioned on Wikipedia. However, the articles on the internet do use Johnny more often, as so this has become the modern spelling. Really it does not matter so much, and I am quite happy with either spelling.

Johnny was my father and his full name is John Milne Checketts. The above is correct in that Johnny is a nickname and goes back to when he was born all his family called him Johnny. Insofar as the spelling is concerned Dad always used the spelling "Johnny"
