Air Force Estimates Questioned in TFX Bid Controversy
May 18 1963 testimony before Senate Investigations Subcommittee revealed Defense officials viewed Air Force cost estimates for the TFX program as unreliable. It was noted that no independent Pentagon estimates existed beyond those submitted by the Air Force, amid bids from General Dynamics and Boeing for the two service fighter.
