Bill Aims to Build Effective Army Air Corps
Pending before the House Military Affairs Committee for over a month, a War Department bill seeks authorization to appropriate funds to expand and modernize the Army Air Corps. It envisions the GHQ Air Force with five wings and up to 3200 planes, plus staff, to be ready once Congress votes the appropriation. The measure enjoys broad War Department support and follows the Morrow board recommendations. The budget director’s earlier disapproval cited policy balance, not opinions on provisions. Critics urge timely action against political delays and foreign influence narratives, urging generous aviation funding.
