It's unknown whether the Flying Monkey uniforms was inspired directly by the uniforms of the West Point cadets. No statement ever was made by those involved in the production of the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. But the uniforms of the monkeys most definitely could be said to be reminiscent of those of the cadets.
Flying (or winged) monkeys are fictional - they appear in the Wizard of Oz.
No. Flying monkeys aren't real. The term flying monkeys were popularized by the movie and book-- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Flying monkeys
There was no name for flying bats in either the original 1900 book or the beloved 1939 film versions of 'The Wizard of Oz'. Instead, the Wicked Witch of the West had control over flying monkeys. The monkeys were called Winged Monkeys.
Flying monkeys exist in fantasy. Frank Baum, the author of "The Wizard of Oz," explained that he was writing fantasy. Flying monkeys only exist in imagination. But in the Wizard of Oz flying monkeys existed in the creepy forest hollow and the wicked witch of the west's castle.

Flying monkey or winged monkey. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz the only flying monkey that L. Frank Baum (the author of the Oz series) shows his name is a flying monkey that can talk who is the King Flying Monkeys named Chistery.
The leader of the winged monkeys. The name isn't mentioned within the book, the 1939 film, or the 1902-1903 stage versions of The Wizard of Oz. But the name does appear at the end of the 1939 film, in the credits, as the leader of the flying monkeys.
She had those flying monkeys that went and snatched Dorothy and her friends and dog out of the forest...

Niko is the name that appears in the credits of the movie (but isn't mentioned in the book or the film) as the leader of the Flying Monkeys.
I assume you are talking about Wizard Of Oz. Maybe, the flying monkeys were monsters- and bad-guy monsters at that. if one of them died accidentally ( as part of the plot) this would be no big deal. The idea of flying apes can be used to be quite frightening- if one mixed the chimpanzee and bat angles of presentationk, and monkeys are arboreal in nature ( Tree dwelling) I never cared much for Wizard of Oz, so... it might have happened.
