Yes. What he implied was that the technology was available at that time in HISTORY. But, available to the Texas Air National Guard? Unlikely. I felt like I was watching a CBS news version of a Michael Moore movie. All sorts of disjointed details, carefully spliced together, all working to create a single impression...
If they were ordered in minimum numbers or very close to the dates in question - they stil would not have trickled down to the guard.
And even at that,he's still ignoring all the other contradictory factors,like Hodges,Killian's widow and son,Stuadt being gone for 18 months.
And they keep ignoring that there was no long waiting list to enter the ANG as an officer pilot,so President Bush wouldn't have needed to get help to enter.
Only it wasn't. The closest anyone's been able to track down is the IBM Selectric Composer, which was proportional (but with only 4 possible widths) and obviously no kerning. An IBM guy called Howie Carr today and said he was an IBM salesman back in the 70s, and the Composer wasn't used in offices; the market was small print shops. Also, unless they want a suit on their hands, they weren't using Times Roman, because it wasn't licensed to IBM.
