Partridge succeeded Weyland as Far East Air Force commander in chief in 1954. Three years later, as head of the U.S.-Canadian interservice North American Air Defense Command, he tried to clean up the classic NORAD interservice rivalry, succeeded in getting the Joint Chiefs to back up the NORAD commander with some (but, by Partridge's lights, not enough) additional powers...
