Need for Airplanes Prompts Call for National Defense
Representative James of Hancock Michigan, acting chair of Military Affairs, argued on June 18 that Lindbergh and Chamberlin flights prove the United States faces aerial attack. He urged a single Department of National Defense uniting land sea and air forces, noting Germanys civil planes could become fighters and a German airline plans transatlantic service in two years. He warned Americans will soon see planes land from Europe, stressing air defense must be on par with other forces. The idea faced opposition as duplicative and was defeated 11 to 10 in committee.
