Here in America we are splitting hairs and wast- ing time and money in overlapping Army, Navy and other air services, while sev eral European countries have unified their air services and, in’ commercial aviation, have established a network of passenger planes. : Coordinated Air Power Favored by Mr. Bloom “A department of air at Washington would coordinate the airpower of America. It would bring about the use of air to its great advantage both gov- ernmentally and commercially. Jt would eliminate the present duplication of serv- ices of the existing Federal agencies.

He commanded the First Army Corps’ air service in the American Expeditionary Forces in the World War and he became Assistant Chief of the Army Air Service. He told Congress that the Army and the Navy and the civil air services are more or less bound up in the general scheme of possibilties in this country. He said that the Navy was not coordinated with the Army in air service in operations, tactics, command, communications and supply.
