The Pentagon is still struggling to track millions of F-35 spare parts worth billions of dollars years after government watchdogs first exposed problems with its tracking system, a new report states. The Government Accountability Office said Monday that while the DoD’s F-35 program “is the costliest in its history,” the department “struggles to account” for its parts. The government watchdog described the DoD’s records for F-35 parts as “outdated, inaccurate, and incomplete” and said “DoD has made minimal progress in attaining and maintaining accountability for F-35 parts” since issues were first brought to light seven years ago. The report follows several audits since 2019 by the GAO and the Department of Defense Inspector General, which revealed numerous problems. Unlike most aircraft, the F-35 program largely relies on a joint pool of spares – such as engines and tires – for the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, as well as international customers. As of March 2026, this pool comprised approximately 26 million spare parts valued at around $31 billion, the GAO reported. About 17,000 parts – worth up to $2.5 billion – were not recorded in the Pentagon’s property and logistics management platform, the Enterprise Logistics Management System. In…

Fort Worth, Texas – When Army Air Forces Col. James M. Stewart returned to Hollywood following his decorated service as a B-24 Liberator bomber pilot in World War II, he seemed to put the war behind him, saying little about his experiences to the public and even to his own family. But a journal found by his bedside after his death in 1997 sheds fresh light on the pain, complexity and even humor of his time in uniform. In an interview with Military Times this month ahead of the release of Jimmy, a new biopic about the It’s a Wonderful Life actor, his daughter Kelly Stewart Harcourt described the journal — and why she’s determined to keep it a private family treasure. Harcourt, one of identical twin daughters Stewart had with his wife Gloria, described the journal as beginning before he deployed overseas in 1943 to England’s RAF Tibenham airfield to command the 703rd Bomb Squadron. It ended, she said, “almost mid-sentence” when the war came to a close. The journal, she said, had corrections made to entries, as if he was editing it for publication. Why he never moved to make it public remains a mystery.  In the journal,…
