I read the article about plagiarisation too and the story seemed to have some legs - there was a poetry anthology in the personal belongings that were returned to the family after his death and a researcher went through it and found several lines in other poems that bore more than a passing resemblance to lines in "High Flight" including the famous "Touched the face of God" etc.
Believe the article was in Smithsonian Air & Space maybe 5 years ago.
