...pilot says-as one did last week to a TIME correspondent: "This kind of flying is worth almost any sacrifice, including the sacrifice of remaining in the service." The new Air Force is in Year I, and the U.S. has as much to learn about living with this new concept of power as the Air Force has to learn about itself...
