		Finally, the contributions of Adm William Moffett to the Navy’s overall doctrine of fleet defense and force projection rank with the contributions of Mitchell and Lejeune.
		Moffett’s biographer, William Trimble, argues that as chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, Moffett’s considerable political skills enabled him to successfully wage a three-front campaign to make Washington more conscious of naval air.
		For Moffett, Mitchell’s assertions represented an institutional slap in the face regarding the Navy’s institutional prerogatives to defend the fleet with its organic, land-based air arm and the evolving aircraft carrier.

	The Paradoxical Paradigm: Aviation Leadership, 1918-1926: How William Moffett Changed the Navy and How Billy Mitchell Prevented the Formation of a Separate Air Force - Storming Media
		The author's contention is that Rear Admiral William Moffett's superior leadership and acute understanding of his organization brought about the metamorphosis of the Navy into a modern combat force, while the Army aeronautical leaders misunderstanding of their organization was responsible for the technology being rejected.
		The author also proposes that Brigadier General William Mitchell, far from the often proclaimed spiritual father of the modern Air Force, was the inept leader primarily responsible for the United States NOT forming an independent air force during the interwar period.
		The author's thesis is that the Navy embraced the new technology of aviation, and the entire Navy changed as a result, while the Army rejected aviation, relegating it to a separate special category that inevitably led to independence.
