The Development of Strategic Air Command, 1946-1976

Abstract

This Bicentennial Year of 1976 also marks the 30th Anniversary of the Strategic Air Command. 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.
