Navy Seeks 4.5 Billion for Air Force Buildup
The Navy requests 4.497 billion dollars for its aviation expansion, with 3.572 billion for new planes. Vice Admiral John H. Cassady told a House subcommittee that even full funding won’t yield a completely modern air force by 1953, citing limited wartime production and the need for extensive testing. He noted missiles rise in importance, and the cost of a modern navy plane averages 800k to 900k, with some early models near 7 million before production scales down costs.
