Shells Defective Indictment Targets Southern Airways Unit
A federal grand jury in Birmingham indicted Southern Airways Co. and 12 former employees on conspiracy to defraud the government and 14 counts of concealment of relevant facts. They allegedly returned 15,000 defective artillery shells to the Army between 1967 and 1969, instructing inspectors to pass defective shells and erase markings. The case involves Defense Metal Products, later Southern Metal Products Division, with contracts totaling nearly $60 million.
