Spaatz touts B-36 and atomic bomb as peace insurance
Retired Air Force chief General Carl Spaatz told the House Armed Services Committee that the B-36 six engine bomber and the atomic bomb are the greatest forces for peace in the world. He noted Russia could subdue Europe and Asia quickly in past wars, but a balance of power with the B-36 and bomb maintains peace. Spaatz recalled choosing to continue a 1943 contract for 100 B-36 jets around December 1946 or January 1947, arguing the overwhelming potential justified proceeding despite the risk of failure, as with the atomic bomb developed to deliver it.
