Nation Advised to Spend More for Air Power
Washington January 14 The Air Policy Commission chaired by VP Truman urges billions more for air power to defend against atomic attack by 1959. The plan calls for 70 groups, 6,360 frontline aircraft, 12,400 modern planes by December 1949, plus 22 squadrons and expanded naval air forces with billions in funding and a shift toward world peace via the United Nations. The report argues self preservation outweighs economy and warns today’s force is inadequate for the coming years.
