Re “Transatlantic Dogfight,” Editorial, Dec. 10: Considering that the subsidies Airbus receives are obviously designed to destroy Boeing’s -- and with it, the U.S.’ -- capability to compete in the commercial aircraft market, I find it unbelievable that the Pentagon would even dream of considering Airbus for its aerial tanker fleet.
