message: I am unable to understand the last edit.  There are abundant references that he was Jewish:
* Amazon.com "Theodore von Karman, a Jewish immigrant and pioneer in aviation and space science"
* Theodore von Karman in his own words "A native Jewish Hungarian"
* In Encyclopaedia Judaica, list of Jewish mathematicians, art. "Mathematics"
*  "The National Medal of Science has only now been conferred on Dr. Theodore von Karman, a Jewish scientist who emigrated to America from Hungary in 1930." Jewish Chronicle, March 1 1963, p.18.
*  "Theodore von Karman, born to a middle-class Jewish family"
* JINFO list of Jewish physicists
* Air Force Magazine "Theodore von Karman was a third son, born to a middle-class Jewish family in Budapest"

message: Nicholas Dawidoff, The Catcher Was a Spy, Vintage, 1994, , p. 257 says that von Kármán had a part in founding the RAND Corporation, but does not elaborate. Probably worth someone researching further and following up. Dawidoffs endnotes suggest that he was working from von Kármán's book with Lee Edson, The Wind and Beyond, possibly p. 246–248. - Jmabel | Talk 20:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the tip to Dawidoff. Nothing yet for RAND, but he supplied material for AGARD and Paul Rosbaud. — Rgdboer (talk) 03:35, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't he be referred to by surname as just Kármán, rather than  von Kármán, just like Beethoven?
Currently the article is inconsistent too.

message: There is a Theodore von Karman room at the institute for fluid mechanics and aerodynamics (his former position in Aachen). I had an oral examination on aerodynamics in this room, of which is said to be his old office, equipped with his old desk and some furniture. I´m not quite sure, if this is really the truth, but it was a hell of a good inspiration. Its plausible, that the furniture is real, but I don´t really expect the building to be old enough für this, cause Aachen was nearly completely leveled in the end of WW2

message: on the aerojet page, the date that Haley formed the company was 1942.  Here it is listed as 1936.  Which is correct?  The 1936 date is reported as just a series of discussions with von Karman.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4000:C950:B06F:CF66:6413:2AA8 (talk) 17:57, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

message: The current article contains:
”Theodore von Kármán (Hungarian: (szőllőskislaki) Kármán Tódor [(søːløːʃkiʃlɒki)ˈkaːrmaːn ˈtoːdor]”
As far as I know, written double l,thus ⟨ll⟩, in Hungarian coincides with pronunciation of geminated [lː], not [l].
Why is the ⟨ll⟩ spelling in ⟨szőllőskislaki⟩ used but [l] in ⟨søːløːʃkiʃlɒki⟩?Redav (talk) 02:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
