Complaint

--The personal life section doesn't make much sense. It talks about him in the present tense, while Fairchild has been dead for 34 years. It seems to be opinionated. Also, how is it possible that his current favorite recipe is for dumplings made with ricotta cheese? This seems to be fictional. I don't know much about him, so I can't make any changes.

Untitled

That section was a massive verbatim plagarism lifted from the article "The Yankee Tinkerers" in the July 25, 1960 issue of Time Magazine (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,826520,00.html), which was published when Fairchild was alive (hence the present tense in the section).

NOTE: A lot of these sections appear to be verbatim plagarisms lifted entirely from other websites and other web pages. They appear to have been entered into this article by Schreck59. Unfortunately, it appears that Schreck59 has contributed many other WP:Copyvio's to many other articles in the Wikipedia over the past year, probably in good faith that he wasn't doing anything wrong...nevertheless, cleaning up all of the copy-vio's is going to take a while; please help, and please, I hope somebody -- with better diplomatic skills than I possess -- can break the bad news to this user.

Hogan's Heroes

This article states that "... led by Lester Hogan and including Jerry Sanders, left Motorola ..." while the article about Sanders contradicts that - "The troops from Motorola, also known as "Hogan's Heroes", were notoriously conservative, and immediately clashed with Sanders' boisterous style.". --192.28.65.210 (talk) 23:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biography or corporate article?

This article is a mess. It's written as if it's supposed to be a biography, including {{Infobox person}}. Yet it is also trying to be some sort of corporate overview page. It really needs to be split off to the other existing company articles. - BilCat (talk) 21:39, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect statement

“ In 1956, Fairchild built the Fokker F-27 Friendship passenger airplane, the first American-built airliner in service.” This sentence is untrue as there were many American built passenger airplanes dating back to the 1920’s. The ford tri motor, Boeing flying clippers and the Douglas DC-3 come to mind. 2600:8801:BE12:C00:7845:A50E:AFBB:E134 (talk) 11:53, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
