No Key West agreement

What if the Army said the hell with the Airforce and kept its own strike aircraft. I started thinking of this after seeing a A 10 in Army markings. I know the Army had a hard time getting strike choppers because of the agreement. Would the Armys ground attack capability's be better or worse?

The Horror

I was told stories of entire B-17 crews were perrished during winter training in the mid-west because the maintainence crew either never bothered to removed the ice off propellers or chopped off a little too much. There were times when sargeants would hold their privates at attention with full pressure suite attire and breathing masks in the late summer sun until they passed out from heat exhaustion. :eek: No, as much as it could have made logistics more solid early on post-WWII, the Army wouldn't be a kind place for air cadetes. To this day many grunts and jarheads reffer to the US Airforce as the chairforce.:eek:
