U.S. Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Michael Moseley intend to resign, a congressional source told Reuters on Thursday.

The resignations come after a series of concerns about recent Air Force matters, including a controversial award of a contract for the Air Force's elite Thunderbirds flying group and the service's mistaken shipment of fuses for nuclear missiles to Taiwan in 2006, the source said.

"There has been a lack of accountability that raised concerns," said the source, who had been informed about the matter.
