Nationality

I think mentioning Austrian as nationality is misleading. Having served in WWI in the US Army [1] he obviously was an American citizen at that time. Moreover, all mentioned achievements have been done in the U.S. -- WolfgangFaber 19:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birth and death dates

Both [2] and [3] list May 26 1876 as the date of his birth and June 10 1963 as the date of his death, contradicting the current wikipedia dates. Since the only mentioned source is one of the two contradicting pages, I will change it. -- WolfgangFaber 19:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
