General Curtis E. LeMay

General Curtis LeMay (c. 1906-1990)

"The best way to lead a mission was to stand between the pilot and co-pilot. You got a good view there, and had no immediate manual task - nothing to do in the aircraft you were flying in - nothing to do except control the entire formation."

• Mission with LeMay: My Story, by Curtis LeMay and MacKinlay Kantor (Doubleday & Company, 1965).
