American Airpower Comes of Age: General Henry H. "Hap" Arnold's World War II Diaries. Volume 1

Abstract

Although the need for a comprehensive biography of Gen Henry H. "Hap" Arnold exists, this volume does not constitute such a biography. Nor is this work intended as a history of the Army Air Forces in World War II. The aim of the editor has been to place in historical context the thoughts and immediate impressions of Arnold as he recorded them in the diaries he kept through each of his 12 trips abroad during the war. The diaries provide centerpieces for the 12 chapters of this work, each of which is devoted to the trip covered therein.
