120 Wing Goal Below Security Minimum Says AF
The Air Force warned that Eisenhower’s 120 wing target would leave air power well below what is required for national security. A five billion dollar budget cut for the coming year was cited in a report inserted into the Congressional Record by Rep. Yorty. The Air Force said the report was prepared at Yorty’s request without input from Talbott or Twining. Senator Smith pressed Defense Secretary Wilson with 32 questions about trimming funds and downsizing to 114 wings while claiming stronger air power in 1954.
