Halsey Urges Rapid Air Attacks Over B-36 Focus
Retired Admiral William F. Halsey told the House Armed Services Committee that modern war requires instantaneous air attacks on military targets with lighter swifter planes than the B 36 intercontinental bomber. He argued strategic bombing of civilian centers cannot stop ground forces and urged command of the air through attacking enemy air fields and destroying pilots. The navy has pressed against policies favoring the B 36 and mass city bombing as weakening national defense.
