Fred Korth was president of the Continental National Bank of Fort Worth, Texas. He was also Assistant Secretary of the Army in 1952-53.
Appointed as Navy Secretary by President John F. Kennedy on 4th January, 1962, resigned Oct 1963. Various sources cite many reasons for Secretary Korth’s departure. Continental National Bank was a principal money source for the General Dynamics plant for the TFX (Tactical Fighter Experimental) F-111 Aardvark. Speculation in 1963 was that Korth used his influence as Navy Secretary to land the TFX project for GD in that it would benefit CNB. A report in a 1984 edition of Proceedings magazine exonerated Korth for any improprieties relating to the awarding of TFX. JFK redirects here. ...
