(PHOTO 15) WINGED WARFARE: How Air Power has Changed the Face of the World and What it Means to our National Security. Written by Major General Harold Hap Arnold And Colonel Ira C. Eaker. Henry Harley "Hap" Arnold (June 25, 1886 – January 15, 1950) was an American general officer holding the ranks of General of the Army and later, General of the Air Force. Arnold was an aviation pioneer, Chief of the Air Corps (1938–1941), commanding general of the United States Army Air Forces, the only United States Air Force general to hold five-star rank, and the only officer to hold a five-star rank in two different U.S. military services. Arnold was also the founder of Project RAND, which evolved into one of the world's largest non-profit global policy think tanks, the RAND Corporation, and was one of the founders of Pan American World Airways. With the exception of overall paper toning and board toning, the book itself is very well maintained with a strong square binding and a printing date the year after initial printing.
