Therefore, in estimating the total numjber of interceptor aircraft, the lghsand lows of old aircraft ere added to the lows and highs of new aircraft to reflect the fact that in a relatively stable force the rate at which old aircraft are withdrawn will be dependent on the rate at :ich new aircraft are introduced. The figures through mid-19 6 3 represent a position agreed on by the Ad Hoc Coomittee of the Intctllgnc Communoity on Tactic-l Aviation. the FlashLight and certain morels of all the other types are all-weather aircraft. - 23 - TO SECRET
