(Cincinnati Enquirer) The involvement of the United States in actual war should put an end to all agitation for a separ- |ate air force. It is conceivable, however, that pro- ponents of this arrangement may pre their argu- ments for immediate “integration” of army and navy air forces under the theory that this should be done | before our air program hits its full stride. Naturally, it would be suicidal folly for the | United States to attempt to change its basic air policy at this juncture. But, even if this argument were disregarded, the whole thesis that the air serv- |ices should be combined in a separate force is unsound. | The success of a modern military operation de- pends upon perfect coordination of all the tompo- nents of that operation, whether on land or on sea.
