Gen. Henry H. Arnold’s leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II was extraordinary, but his series of six books in the mid-1920s inspired a new generation of airmen.
Despite their short history and the jokes that the other services throw their way, the Air Force/U.S. Army Air Corps has had an illustrious and decorated history with many brave and daring airmen accomplishing incredible feats in the air and on the ground as well.
