General William Mitchell - Father of America's 
modern
Air Force, Billy Mitchell predicted the First World War with Germany,
the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, and predicted that planes
would fly at a thousand miles per hour. As a private in Cuba, he taught
himself the basics of aeronautics from a book, but later learned to fly
from Orville Wright. His foresight and outspokenness won him both a general
court-martial and a special Medal of Honor. Billy Mitchell
is
the first
Legend of Airpower.
