Pace-Finletter MOU 1952
On 4 November 1952, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between United States Air Force Secretary Thomas K. Finletter and United States Army Secretary Frank Pace that removed the weight restrictions on helicopters that the U.S. Army could use. It also widened the range of tasks the Army's helicopters could be used for. However, it also created an arbitrary 5,000 pounds weight restriction that limits the Army's ability to fly fixed-wing aircraft. As a result, the U.S. Army today is dependent upon the U.S. Air Force to purchase and man fixed-wing ground-attack aircraft to fulfill close air support missions.
"...that established a fixed wing weight limit (for the Army) of five thousand pounds empty, but weight restrictions on helicopters were eliminated..."〔One or two paragraph mention: (Pushing the Envelope By Donald M. Pattillo, pg. 196 )〕 (Pushing the Envelope, pg. 196)
==Background==
One of the consequences of President Harry S Truman creating the modern U.S. Defense Department was the splitting off of the U.S. Army Air Corps from the U.S. Army, and creating the U.S. Air Force. With the Air Force's natural inclination towards Air Superiority and Strategic (i.e., nuclear) priorities, the Army wanted some air capabilities of its own. However, this would mean the duplication of some resources between the Army and Air Force. Eventually there came to be a meeting〔A half-paragraph mention... (The History of North American Small Gas Turbine Aircraft Engines by Richard A. Leyes, William A. Fleming, A. Stuart Atkinson, page 156 )〕 between Air Force Secretary Thomas K. Finletter and Army Secretary Frank Pace resulted in the Pace-Finletter MOU of 4 November 1952.
The previous Agreement of 2 October 1951〔More authoritative that William's book, but also a more 'dry' read... (''The United States Air Force'' ) by Richard Irving Wolf, Page 241.〕 that was not able to resolve issues as the 4 November 1952 MOU did.
This MOU built upon the Key West Agreement.〔More authoritative that William's book, but also a more 'dry' read... (''The United States Air Force'' by Richard Irving Wolf, Page 151. )〕
