Development of Strategic Air Command, 1946 - 1976

Abstract

The Development of Strategic Air Command, 1946 - 1976, provides a brief chronological account of the command's contributions to the Nation's defense during this thirty year period. For ease of reference, the same general format is used for each year: Assigned Resources, Command Leadership, Organization, and Operations. Three additional categories are included for selected periods of time: Bombing Competition, since 1949; Missile Competition, since 1967; and Budget and Financial Status, since 1958. For security reasons, no statistics have been included for those types of reconnaissance aircraft currently assigned.
