His testimony before the senate investigations subcommittee was in dii-ect conflict with that given previously by witnesses for the uniformed air force and navy. The plane is intended for use bv both ser- vices.

Korth pictured the General Dynamics version as 320 miles an hour faster than 1 at high altitude. 150 miles an hour faster at low altitude. The top speed has been described in testimony as about two and a half times the speed of sound. SArO THE Gerera!
