Autobiography of legendary US Air Force General Curtis E. LeMay. Although without any ownership marks, the book was acquired from the estate of WWII and Korea veteran Colonel Clark Olmsted Thornton, PhD. (1917-2004) of Northport, Alabama which, in turn, provides a provenance of connection via career overlap to General LeMay. Joining the Army Air Corps prior to Pearl Harbor, Thornton saw action in Africa and Europe participating in four WWII airborne invasions including D-Day and served as Air Advisor to 82nd Airborne Division commander Major General James Gavin. Awarded ten major battle stars, five oak leaf clusters, the Belgian Fourragere, the Dutch Lanyard, and a Presidential Citation, Thornton's career included two tours at the Pentagon and staff assignments to the Secretary of Defense as well as the Joint Chiefs of Staff before concluding his thirty-year career as the Professor of Aerospace Studies and head of Air Force ROTC at the University of Alabama. …
