Senate subcommittee warns Truman on air strength plan
The Senate preparedness subcommittee condemned President Truman’s plan to stretch out aircraft production as inviting disaster. It urged quickly building to the 143 wing force recommended by the joint chiefs of staff, warning Russia could have two to three times as many planes by 1954 and threaten global air superiority. The panel said defense leaders doubt current strength and called for an immediate, drastic rise in air power, arguing the stretch out would raise cost per plane and jeopardize national security.
