Description
Robert A. Lovett, Undersecretary of State, but Assistant Secretary of War for Air in 1942, told the Senate War Investigating Subcommittee that the War and Navy Departments agreed to furnish necessary engines for the Kaiser-Hughes flying boats because they were requested to do so by War Production Board Chief Donald Nelson. This was the same reason given by Jesse Jones, former Reconstruction Finance Corporation head when he had testified. From: Beth Gore
