...churches' present great role, said Dulles, is to keep the U.S. from dehumanizing itself by becoming too preoccupied with such things as "atom bombs and jet bombers, super flattops and snorkel submarines." It is the Christian responsibility "to preserve in our nation human sympathy and compassion such as Jesus had when He saw the multitudes. If our churches perform that task . . . then perhaps it may be said to our nation: 'Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace...
Problem: how to make a jet engine work under water. Solution: make it use a fuel that burns in water instead...
With Teeth. The debate had helped clear the air. It had also raised-and apparently answered-a larger question. Was the U.S. prepared, in the age of atomic bombs and jet-propelled planes, to pledge armed support of Europe? The answer, after a few minutes' hesitation, seemed to be yes-even if it had to be qualified to fit the powers of Congress.

The spectacular eight-jet Flying Wing took off and zoomed upward, followed by the six-jet B-47, trailing clouds of smoke from 18 rocket units.

For a roaring finale the Air Force sent...
...present standbys of the U.S. Air Force (the B-36, F-80, etc.) are much like the airplanes of late World War II. Behind these in the development series stand strange-looking craft like the Northrop Flying Wing and the six-jet Boeing B-47, neither yet ready for service. Even farther away from military use are odder airplanes, such as the model 7002 Consolidated-Vultee Delta wing, which looks like a big bomber's tail with the rest of the bomber missing (see cut). So far, the Delta wing has had only its test flights...
