Air Report Debates Creation of National Air Department
Two air reports before Congress urge stronger aviation role in national defense. Col William Mitchell and Reid back a dedicated air department or cabinet, while the committee warns of underpowered air forces and delays in pay, promotion, and personnel. The reports call for aviation representation on the army general staff and ending government competition with private aircraft makers. The air service must be elevated without creating a separate overwhelming force, the panel says, as air power is essential but not sole determinant of defense.
