No military line units ever had IBM executive typewriters.
....
They never got to active duty line units. NEVER.


Active Duty? LOL, This was the Champagne Unit.

If the typewriter were that expensive they wouldn't have sold any. It was a popular item. Someone is probably trying to confuse it in the reader's mind with their truley expensive typesetting devices.

You are confused. The old IBM Executive was a typebar model made in the 40s and could not have had any of the designs necessary like the Selectric ll.

$14,000 for an Executive. Surely you are really confused!
