About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Viking Press, 1982. 416 pages, illus, notyes, bibliog, index. General of the Air Force Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, an incurable maverick whom the U.S. Army never learned to control, became, nonetheless, one of only four permanent five-star generals in the nation's history, and one of America's most important military leaders of all time. During forty-one years of active service, he compiled an unparalleled record as an airman and was truly the father of the modern Air Force. In 1911, four years after his graduation from West Point, the Wright brothers taught him to fly, and he became the holder of U.S. Army pilot's license number two. His rise through the ranks was marked by controversy, and when he took command of the Army Air Corps in 1938, it was a puny collection of 20,000 men and a few hundred planes, none good enough to face Germany's modern air force. DJ and text clean.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
