There is little or no information about what was termed in the 1960's the "Lockheed scandal".
Where bribes were handed out for lockheed to attain contracts to supply western europe, most notably west germany, with jet fighters.
This is briefly mentioned on this page, but the redirect is to a vanilla "about lockheed" page, which has no reference to the scandal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Hartmann
And the same paragraph is repeated in the main text, but a little more information or detail might be in order from US sources, where they may now have access to information about the investigations and economic impact of the scandals.
Comments please?

Half of the $40,000 revival cost of Lockheed was paid by Cyril ($10,000) and Sybil ($10,000) Chappallet.

Under the section of 'Production during World War II' a sentence states, "The P-38 was the only American fighter aircraft in production throughout American involvement in the war, from Pearl Harbor to Victory over Japan Day."
Can someone verify this? I think it should be removed with any confirmation. RyanDanielst ( talk) 21:14, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
The Wikipedia North American P-51 Mustang has the first deliveries of NA-73 Mustang Is to the RAF in October 1941, and it claims that production continued until "after the war". Note that while the first Mustangs for the USAAF were built as attack aircraft, the Mustang Is for the RAF were built to be fighters.- Rv8 ( talk) 14:43, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
This section doesn't say how it ends. I think some additional sources describing what the end of this process looked like would be notable. I potentially have some COI here otherwise I would do it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Czarking0 ( talk • contribs) 00:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
