"Hap" Arnold, Commander-in-Chief of the greatest Air Force the world has ever seen, tells the story of his life, of how our air power was developed and of the great decisions and operations of World War II. "(Hap Arnold was) a dedicated officer in a specialized field,...and at the same time, a human being, a warm-hearted, loyal, mercurial, flamboyantly belligerent fellow who didn't care who he took on in battle."—Robert A. Lovett
