Air official outlines future war missile threat and defense
Detroit June 17 Assistant Secretary of War for Air W Stuart Symington warned at the Economic Club that future wars would begin with a rain of radar guided missiles on American production centers. He said such missiles would carry atomic warheads and fly over the polar route from Europe or Asia, with a guaranteed U.S. counteroffensive to deter aggressors. General Carl Spaatz and six other AAF generals accompanied him. He noted plans for a U.S. bomber capable of striking any world industrial center this summer, warning that others could replicate the capability.
