We talk a lot about aircraft on this forum and sometimes about the pilots who flew them into battle. But what about the guys on top, who devised strategies, set priorities, etc. Here are some of the better known WW II air force leaders. Which of them do you believe made the most important contributions to his country's war effort? U.S.: Curtis Le May, Jimmy Doolittle, Hap Arnold, Ira .C. Eaker, George C. Kenney; Great Britain: Hugh Dowding, Arthur Harris; Germany: Albert Kesselring, Adolf Galland, Joseph Kammhuber and Wolfram Von Richthofen. If I have left anyone out please feel free to cite them.

Snoopy! He keeps getting shot down and yet keeps getting in the cockpit. What more do you need for inspiration? I know, I know its WW I. But what the heck.

All of this men did wonders for the airforces, doolitte the raid on japan when the us was down on it's luck and it was great moral. Ira Eaker, curtis lemay and hep arnold took the 8th to britain and took it from a small air force to one of the biggist the world had seen, Arthur harris did the same thing for bomber comand. Adolf Galland was one of the best fighter pilots for the germans and flew one of the first jet fighters of the world.
