Wilson Caps Army Air Wings and Missile Plans
The Defense Secretary ordered the Army’s air arm limited to local mobility and small material transport, forbidding longer range missiles and expanding Air Force control of mid and long range land missiles. The Navy retained its roles. Army anti aircraft missiles remain limited to 100 miles, while Nike and Talos stay under Army control. The decision ends Army plans for a larger air arm and separate Air Force within the Army, with President Truman briefed.
