In 1949 General of the Air Force Henry Harley "Hap" Arnold (June 25, 1886 - January 15, 1960) directed that a series of films (Special Film Project 263 ... a 30-minute preview and 26 chapters) be made to tell the Air Power story. "Hap" short for Happy was made a General of the Army (5 Stars) on December 21, 1944 and General of the Air Force on May 7, 1949. He was the only person to hold 5 Star rank in two of the military services. I will post the entire series on youtube as time and limitations permit. The preview will be in four parts and each chapter in two parts.
