USAF Plans Atlantic A-Bomber Flights and Long-Range Bombers Debate
General Twining outlined USAF plans to fly A-bombers to England in April from Fairford, the first Atlantic crossing, then return. He warned the growing Soviet atomic stockpile could threaten U.S. industry, argued long-range bombers like the B47 B86 and B32 remain essential for penetrating Soviet defenses, and rejected shifts toward tactical power. He noted the US stockpile can destroy Soviet war facilities and that decisive advantage rests on high performance bombers and skilled crews.
