The Oxford is often wrong or incomplete, Bill. How much time do you think they can afford to spend verifying the etymology of every single entry? They probably accepted the definition for lack of another rather than because they were convinced that it is true.
It is a very, very doubtful one. If it were common air force slang I'd believe it, but it's not.
