Army General Billy Mitchell fought long and hard for the importance of airpower and the need for a strong national defense. Today, we know Mitchell as the father of the United States Air Force. After his passing in 1936, General Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, the commander of World War II Army Forces, succeeded Mitchell as the leading voice for airpower. Nearly a decade later, General Arnold's advocacy for an independent civilian organization was incorporated as the Air Force Association. Our first national president was noted aviation pioneer and Medal of Honor recipient, General Jimmy Doolittle, who spent AFA's inaugural year establishing chapters across the country. Air Force Magazine is published by the Association. This work includes articles by James H. Doolittle, General Thomas White (Chief of Staff of the U. S. Air Force), General Thomas Poser, Richard Horner, William Leavitt, Hubertus Strughold, Krafft Ehricke, and Simon Ramo (the "R" in TRW).
