A New Morrow Board for Air Defense Policy
The piece argues for a revived Morrow Board to forge a coherent national defense policy beyond aviation. It recalls the 1925 board under Coolidge that spurred Air Corps and Air Commerce acts, and urges a modern body to integrate military and civil aeronautics amid postwar peace and rising air power. It emphasizes past guidance, congressional interest, and the inevitability of a new board to shape strategy.
