Bentley Testimony Claims Reds Linked to Army Air Forces
Elizabeth Bentley testified before the House Un American Activities Committee that her Communist spy ring had direct lines into the Army Air Forces and the Civil Affairs division during World War II. She described access to invasion plans, aircraft production data, air corps policies, and internal movements. Bentley named figures such as George Silverman Ludwig Ullman Victor Verto Harry Magdoff Edward Fitzgerald and Chaim Kramer as contacts, and said funds flowed through Karl Golas to support informants. She stated meetings occurred in New York and Washington and that informants received only travel expenses, not salaries.
