Creator
MORIARTY, DONALD PETER, JR., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
Abstract/Description
Between 1930 and 1965, four men held such key positions in the military establishment that they essentially dominated their profession. Although their positions were first and foremost military, the non-military implications inherent in their offices were of such nature as to involve the office holder in a wide range of national affairs at the highest levels. Using as a method comparative biographical sketches of Generals of the Army Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and...

Although their positions were first and foremost military, the non-military implications inherent in their offices were of such nature as to involve the office holder in a wide range of national affairs at the highest levels. Using as a method comparative biographical sketches of Generals of the Army Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and General Maxwell Taylor, conelusions are derived which, it is hoped, will assist in determining an appropriate role for the Army officer in matters of national leadership.

Key West Agreement of 1948: A milestone for naval aviation
Title
The Key West Agreement of 1948: A milestone for naval aviation.
Creator
Vital, Mark David., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
Abstract/Description
The Key West Agreement of 1948 (KWA) was crucial in the Navy's fight to save naval aviation from Air Force encroachment. Prior to the KWA, the Air Force attempted to control the roles and missions surrounding naval aviation. The Air Force in fact, wished to emasculate naval aviation, which in turn would have made it downplayed its importance during the early Cold War years. But the KWA assigned all roles and missions surrounding naval aviation to the Navy and not to the Air Force. In so doing...
Show moreThe Key West Agreement of 1948 (KWA) was crucial in the Navy's fight to save naval aviation from Air Force encroachment. Prior to the KWA, the Air Force attempted to control the roles and missions surrounding naval aviation. The Air Force in fact, wished to emasculate naval aviation, which in turn would have made it downplayed its importance during the early Cold War years. But the KWA assigned all roles and missions surrounding naval aviation to the Navy and not to the Air Force. In so doing, the KWA gave the Navy the right to control all land- and carrier-based aviation as well as develop new technology and weapon systems such as the supercarrier. Without the KWA, the Navy could have lost control of naval aviation. The thesis highlights the importance of the KWA, and explains reasons why historians have failed to focus adequate attention to the subject.
