Here is a gif showing the morph between the memo and the word version

Mega bump for your post!
CNS focuses on the "th", which we have all been talking about. However, further evidence is the curly apostrophe. Those that claim to know say that typewriters back then had straight apostrophes.
They'll try... but they couldn't "Save" that maggot Bellesiles no matter how hard they tried, and if these are forgeries somebody is going down. Count on it.
This was a allegedly a memo to himself, so I don't think such informality would have been out of the question.
Because Dan and company always have been charlatans, but now the Emperor has no clothes!
The whole thing is a crock but Blather kept his job for another day!
"Guys, this has GOT to be a trap. Nobody could be THIS dumb?!"
You have to hang around DU and the leftist blogs more... many are (a) this dumb and (b) willing to do something like this.
making them live links ...

Bush "Memos" Look Forged

FWIW, that has obviously been faxed.
WOW, a hearty bump to your post. All this talk today about fonts and forgery and you just brought it on home. They are virtually identical.
Here...
"Faxing" doesn't alter a signature's style.
IBM announces the Electromatic Model 04 electric typewriter, featuring the revolutionary concept of proportional spacing. By assigning varied rather than uniform spacing to different sized characters, the Type 4 recreated the appearance of a printed page, an effect that was further enhanced by a typewriter ribbon innovation that produced clearer, sharper words on the page. The PROPORTIONAL SPACING feature became a staple of the IBM Executive series typewriters.

I was focusing on the typed text. Faxing _does_ induce a randomizing look that at first glance provides an "old" look, even where the original would look absolutely pristine. Whoever is waving these docs as "proof" should be waving & scanning originals, not faxes.
someone is in deep doo-doo
You could choose between 10 pitch and 12 pitch balls for the selectric. Both type sizes used fixed spacing, not proportional.
IBM did have related specialty products. See, for example, the IBM Selectric Composer. http://domino.research.ibm.com/tchjr/journalindex.nsf/0b9bc46ed06cbac1852565e6006fe1a0/a5b7541baf9f5cdf85256bfa00683fca?OpenDocument
Actually the superscripted 'th' IS evidence that it is a typewritten version. Typewriter heads could put a superscripted th above the linespace. Note that Microsoft Word cannot place the 'th' in the linespace area.
"Says he will do it in Alabama IF HE STAYS IN A FLIGHT STATUS"
Note that your memo says ANNUAL FLIGHT PHYSICAL. There is something missing between your memo dated May 4th and May 19th. And then we skip to August of 1972??
To me, another convenient thing was that Killian is deceased. "Dead men tell no tales".
