Washingtons War Era Air Power Policy and Puzzling Edges
The piece notes rapid expansion of air forces personnel with pilots nearly abundant and talks of closing about a dozen cadet bases by April. It discusses transport command shifting to combat-trained pilots, Farm Security Administration gains in congressional favor, and a critical look at Norden bombsights versus low level tree-top bombing in the Pacific. It also mentions budgetary pressure, AFL mine workers integration, Ickes and Wallace rapprochement, and Pentagon entrance interview changes signaling bureaucratic cumbersomeness.
