Navy seeks big budget hikes and heavy base cuts
The defense plan raises air appropriations to 538.718 million dollars from 497.523 million and calls for eliminating 6000 enlisted aviation billets and 1270 naval aviators from flying duty. It would cut flight training by 600 students yearly, close five air stations, and reduce five more to maintenance status while closing four major overhaul facilities. Procurement would drop 22 percent this year and nearly halve from 1949, leaving 66.5 percent of first line aircraft available in 1951.
