War Billions Wasted Washington July Exposé on WWI waste
Rep William J. Graham exposes massive overcharges and mismanagement in the wartime aviation and industrial programs. He cites $1.05 billion for aviation with no front-line planes, inflated costs for Curtiss Machs, standards, and Bristol and Standard J types, plus cost-plus contracts and stalled plants with little or no wartime output. Several projects doubled as boondoggles, including Nitro and Old Hickory plants, and a vast tank program that never produced front-line tanks before armistice.
