Carl "Tooey" Spaatz
Carl
"Tooey" Spaatz is one of the genuine characters of American aviation.
In the wild and woolly days of flight, he was a guitar-strumming free
spirit who often offended the military establishment. But over the course
of his career, Spaatz did as much to shape the modern Air Force as any
other single person. He trained most of the American pilots who fought
in WWI, pioneered air-to-air refueling, and his command of WWII's strategic
air forces forever changed the way war is fought. When he retired, President
Eisenhower paid tribute to him saying that Tooey Spaatz had never been
wrong.
