Air Chief Vandenberg Warns On Atomic Counteroffensive
Air Chief Gen Hoyt Van denberg told Detroit at the Air Force Association luncheon that no means exist to stop an American atomic counteroffensive now or likely in the near future. He said current evidence from tests and allied air forces supports this view and urged restraint in pursuing complex combat aircraft, arguing success lies in choosing highly effective aircraft rather than sheer numbers. He warned that growing atomic weapon production could deter a costly repeat of past strategic structures focused on quantity over strategy.
