aviation defense debate at the hearings
Edward W. Pickard surveys week one of the president’s special aircraft board hearings on Mitchells plan for a separate department of aeronautics.

Navy officials warn against splitting air power from naval forces, while commerce secretary Hoover predicts a booming commercial air system with government support and light subsidies.
