F111B Deficiencies Hit Navy Pilot Test Report
Washington Navy test pilots report 253 deficiencies in the F111B fighter hull to the Senate subcommittee. Of these, 100 are mandatory-correction items and 152 are desirable. Pilots say the aircraft is unsuitable for service, with the project now years behind schedule. Pentagon seeks a 1.75 million penalty against General Dynamics, amid cost-savings claims and criticism of the shared design approach with the Air Force version.

Senate report warns severe combat pilot shortage persists
Senate investigators say a severe shortage of U S combat pilots will endure into the 1970s. Vietnam commitments, failure to call reserves, and rising resignations contribute, with all services under strain to meet wartime needs and potential mobilization. The report warns the Air Force Navy Marines and Army would struggle to meet increased demands in Vietnam or any crisis.
