Description | Cartoon shows General Eisenhower sewing wings (labeled "New Air Force") on the shoulders of a muscular young man (resembling Mercury) wearing a helmet labeled "Western European Defense." May refer to the conversion of the U.S. Army Air Corps into a separate Air Force in September 1947. At that time, Eisenhower was the Army Chief of Staff. Reflects the emerging U.S. concerns that the Russians constituted a threat to Western Europe. |
