The TFX Decision: McNamara and the Military.
By Robert J. Art, Boston: Little, Brown & Company, 1968. 202 pages. Illustrated. Hardcover, $5.95; paperback, $2.75.
REVIEWED BY
Richard K. Smith
Mr. Smith holds bachelor of science and master of arts degrees from the University of Illinois, and during 1964-1965, instructed in the history department of the University of Illinois, while completing work on a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. He spent five years at sea as a marine engineer, followed by two years of active duty as a Naval Reserve Officer. He is the author of The Airships Akron & Macon, a book published by the U. S. Naval Institute. He is a historian at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution.
Professor Art of Brandeis University has given us a solid, lucid, and very readable account of the beginnings of this controversial aircraft, and its vicissitudes up to 1962.
The book treats only with the period 1959— 1962, when the aircraft now known as the F-lll was called the TFX and was still a “paper airplane.” It is concerned with the requirements that called the aircraft into being, its metamorphosis through a series of decisions, and the design competition process. The climax occurs with Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara reversing the judgment of his military advisers and awarding the contract to the Convair-Grumman team, instead of to Boeing.
The TFX was conceived in 1959 as an Air Force fighter-bomber with a transatlantic, nonstop ferry range, capable of delivering a nuclear weapon on-the-deck at Mach 2.5. Concurrently, the Navy was seeking to de-

velop its (aborted) F-6D Missileer, a subsonic fighter that sacrificed speed for an extraordinary loiter time on the fringes of its carrier task forces. The Missileer would have carried elaborate early warning and interception electronics to serve its highly sophisticated Eagle missile, also under development at that time.
The two missions were incompatible, but Secretary McNamara chose to squeeze the two together, roll them into a ball, and call the mess “TFX.” The result could only be production of an aircraft that has pleased no one, and the Navy least of all.
The crux of the book, however, is why McNamara chose to overrule his military advisers. Emphasis is on the alleged doctrine of “cost-effectiveness,” and how it was applied in this instance. It is emphasized that Boeing (the military’s choice) had not built a production military fighter since the Air Corps’ P-26 of 1935, nor a production Navy fighter since the F-4B, circa 1930. What is more, Boeing had never built a supersonic aircraft of any description, unless the Bomarc missile could be so considered.
On the other hand, Convair had produced the XF-94, F-102, F-106, and the B-58, all transsonic aircraft, while Grumman was a historic supplier of Navy fighters, including the supersonic F-11F. And Grumman was the only American airframe builder other than Bell that had any extensive experience with a swing-wing aircraft.
Accordingly, the Grumman-Convair proposals were more conservative, and their cost figures more realistic than Boeing’s. But Boeing offered more novelties. Some of these were untested, and if they did not prove out, they would have inflicted severe penalties on the final aircraft’s performance. But most significant, Boeing virtually offered the Navy one type of airplane, and the Air Force 3 somewhat different one. This, of course, made the military happy. But what McNamara wanted was “commonality” of design. Convair-Grumman offered this, plus experience, and more realistic estimates.
The author cannot be very familiar with
aviation, nor the problems of military and naval aircraft. He builds his story around the TFX decision of 1962, in which McNamara reversed the judgment of his advisers. His account of this is good. But the really critical TFX decision was the one that decided there should be a TFX at all, and that diametrically opposed Navy and Air Force requirements could be made compatible in the name of “commonality.” This was the decision that Put the TFX on the road to unhappiness, and Until it is sorted out, the TFX controversy will never be fully understood.
Historically, the Navy has never found an Air Force fighter plane satisfactory, because by the time it has been strengthened for carrier service, its performance has been seriously degraded. On the other hand, the Air Force has been able to take Navy fighters, ‘squeeze the weight out of them” and realize a fighter plane marginally superior to the Navy version. This book would have enjoyed greater depth if the author had placed the initial TFX decision against the Navy’s development of the FJ-1 out of the Air Force F-86, a commonality that did not work out well. And the Navy’s F-4H Phantom becoming the Air Force F-110, where commonality worked very well.
The author’s apparent unfamiliarity with aircraft is not without virtues. Perhaps because of this, he takes little for granted and is at pains to explain details. Best of all, he studiously avoids the polysyllabic gobbledy- gook to which American academics who dabble in military subjects are susceptible.
This book is not an expose. It does not moralize and indulge in finger-pointing. It is a sober, well-balanced narrative. Anyone interested in the beginnings of the F-111, some insights into the McNamara gospel of cost- effectiveness, and how it worked in one instance, will find these pages illuminating and worthwhile reading.

Subtitled “The Evolution of Aircraft from 19031945,” this large, handsome volume presents the highlights of aviation history in its aircraft, people, and events. Though obviously aimed at the recent Christmas trade for coffee table use, the extremely fine drawings—two-view line, full color, and scale—along with illustrations of particular events, the narrative and appendixes have joined in a work of near reference quality. (Originally published in German, this translation on page 164 refers to the Japanese Emperor as the Kaiser.)

The Germans Who Never Lost
Edwin P. Hoyt, Jr. New York: Funk & Wagnalls,
1968. 247 pp. $5.95.
Nearly forgotten and just as nearly unbelievable, this is the story of Captain Max Looff, his crew from the light cruiser Konigsberg, and their adventures battling the British at first in the Indian Ocean and later, after having to scuttle their ship, on shore in East Africa during World War I. The lack of maps or illustrations of any sort much reduces the effectiveness of the book in its telling of the hardships of hauling 1 around Africa the ten 105-mm. guns salvaged from the cruiser. At the war’s end, Looff, one gun, and only 15 men were all that remained of the small force that had baffled over 250,000 British and Allied forces.

Oeorge C. Neumann. New York: Harper & Row, 1967. 373 pp. Illus. SI5.00.

Unlike other books in these closely related fields, Sea and A ir considers the atmosphere and the seas as a single fluid environment, covering the study of similar phenomena of the two fluids together whenever possible. Winds and currents, for instance, are discussed in one chapter; the transmission of light and sound energy through both media in another. 329 pages. Over 200 illustrations. List price $11.50.

pp. $12.50. j
The morality of the use of power, the concept of force, and political responsibility are closely scrutinized and the author, who is a professor of religion at Princeton University, presents a decidedly nonpacifist case “for the responsible use of force in maintaining justice, order, and political community.”

Harold L. Poor. New York: Scribners, 1968. 285 pp. Illus. $7.95.

Following the first edition by 13 years, this reference work shows most clearly, through the use of text and pictures, the tremendous progress that has been made in the size and other characteristics of merchant
ships. This is not a Jane's format, but goes much further, as it tells how ships are built and repaired, of life aboard, of the complex structure of ships, and their varied cargoes.
Navy Uniforms, Insignia and Warships of World War II
W. H. Tantum IV and E. J. Hoffschmidt (eds.). Old Greenwich, Conn.: WE, Inc., 1968. 268 pp. Ulus. $9.95.
Covering 14 navies, from the United States to Turkey, ■n matters of uniforms and insignia it also covers with line drawings, silhouettes, and photographs the major Warships of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, and Italy.
