Vandenberg Urges U S to Top Reds in Air Power
Air Force Chief Gen Hoyt S. Vandenberg told the Senate MacArthur hearings the United States must maintain an air force capable of destroying Russia's air power promptly. He warned the current force could become a willow wand as Moscow expands its air and atomic weapons stockpile.

He quoted Roosevelt to walk softly but carry a big stick.
