Taft backs bigger air force budget boost
Senator Taft argues for a substantial increase in military aircraft funding, proposing shifting 400 million from universal military training and other Army Navy funds to raise the air force budget beyond the White House plan. He envisions the United States having the world's most efficient air force, weighing a 35 000 plane force versus the board's ten billion annual aviation spend.
