Henry H. Arnold are almost syn- onymous. Though not an old man at the time of his death, “Hap” Arnold was a personal link between the feeble beginnings of the air arm and the thunder- ous present. As a young Army second lieutenant he learned flying from the Wright brothers themselves, and he piloted a Signal Corps biplane at a time when flying was thought to be the exclusive province of daredevils and lunatics.
