On the first birthday of the United States Air Force, which was established as a separate branch of the service just a year ago, General Hoyt Vandenberg reports progress to Air Secretary Stuart Symington. Citing the Berlin Airlift, which is supplying food and fuel to the people of West Berlin, Vandenberg stresses air power as a force for peace. In Seattle, the growing strength of the Air Force is demonstrated as the new B-50 super-fortresses (successor to the B-29 bomber) take off for test flights over the Cascade Mountains.
