In the height of the cold war, the facts were hard to deny.....

The Army had more aircraft than the U S Air Force,....

And more boats than the U S Navy,....

Maybe that's why it never got past the experimental phase Rolling Eyes

The Army also had a A-3 "Skywarrior" and some F-3"Skynights" on inventory for experimental purposes (kept them at Holloman) and trialled the Fiat G.91 way back when. Cool

The aircraft one is probably right. The army has a lot of helicopters and not a few light planes.

As for boats that's quesitonable but if you are talking about ships I think it's still the case.
