General Nathan F. Twining warned at the Veterans of Foreign Wars encampment that a flood of Soviet aircraft poses greater danger than any hurricane and that Russia is closing the gap in both quantity and quality. He noted the United States leads in air power but cautioned catching up would raise the likelihood of a Soviet attack. He also said the battle for preparedness grows tougher and the U.S. remains about two years from the 127-wing goal set in 1953.
