Birth date and place
I don't know how accurate this () site is, but it gives his birth date (17 April 1933). It also gives his middle name (Richard) as well as a different birth place (Edie, Pennsylvania instead of Cleveland, Ohio) and a different graduation year (1957 instead of 1958). FWIW. 67.8.85.101 01:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
BLP concerns
"The BD-5"
I've moved the following here until proper sourcing can be found per WP:BLP:
Although the company was effectively bankrupt at this point, work on the BD-5D continued for some time. The bankruptcy became official in 1979, by which point the BD-5 project was long dead. During the bankruptcy proceedings it was learned that the money ostensibly being used to build kits was instead being spent on a variety of projects. As a result, Bede entered a consent decree with the FTC to no longer accept deposits on aircraft for a period of ten years.

- Ref added and text restored. Please don't remove text, either tag that a citation or ref is needed or comment out of view to make it easier for other editors to correct the issue and restore the text. Flybd5 13:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Per BLP, such content should be removed immediately. Such edits are exempt from 3RR. Please do not instruct others to violate policies. --Ronz 15:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've reverted it. Ref only verifies existence of consent decree, but gives no details that I found searching the doc for "Bede". --Ronz 15:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
"Bede Aircraft, again"
Another:
Although the deposits were claimed to be in escrow, it appears Bede secured a line of credit against the escrow accounts, which were then seized, leaving kit builders in the lurch again.

Lack of references
While I think that much of this could be referenced, I think it's time to start trimming back sections that potentially contentious per NPOV. --Ronz 15:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
