Rodgers Denies Plans for Trip Were Bungled
Commander John Rodgers told the president's air board that Hawaii flight plans faced criticism but that aviation needs a stronger national defense structure.

He rejected blame on the navy for earlier mishaps and argued for cost-conscious, major reorganization to advance air power.
