Hi, I think Patton was innovative enough to
have appreciated Air Cav. Remember, Patton was commissioned in the Cavalry, and tanks were still a couple of years away. He saw the possibilities of armor, so I think he would have seen the same for choppers.
To answer your second question, thats a hard one. With no major war between 1918-1950 would the tecnology have advanced so much?
Without the war, there would have been no
real need for the military technology to move so far so fast. Maybe in 1950 they would be fighting with 1930s technology. Sometimes it seems that military technology powers the civilian world. Look at aviation, communications, and medicine w/o a war. I hope this helps. Good questions-food for thought.
