Army Air Service seeks $25 million next year
General Patrick approves a fall call for a $25,000,000 Army Air Service appropriation for the next fiscal year. A War Plans Section report urges this as the minimum to maintain an efficient air force at its current small level and to prevent retrogression, with $15,000,000 for new equipment and the rest for operating costs. If approved, funds would double this year’s level and push toward a larger peacetime force deemed necessary for aviation supremacy.
