I have arrived at this point. Ironically, last year when I was asked how much longer I was going to edit Air Power History, I replied, “As long as it’s fun to do.” What I didn’t realize was how difficult it would become to balance editing and Parkinson’s. I would have loved to go on as a full-time editor, but that’s just not possible. The most I can do is to be an editor emeritus. I have edited this journal since the fall of 1993 and was afflicted with Parkinson’s in 1999. A pret- ty good run, all things considered. I am sorry to see Bob Dorr also ending his popular “History Mystery,” but I know Richard Wolf will do a great job as my successor, and Scott Willey will continue producing superior book reviews. The leadership is in very good hands, under General Dale Meyerrose, executive director Jim Vertenten, and Mrs. Angela Bear, our fine office manager. The Board of Directors is as talented and accomplished as one is likely to find anywhere. In this issue, we begin with David Vaughan’s tale of “Major Ralph Royce and the First Pursuit Group’s 1930 Arctic Patrol Exercises,” which awarded the participants the McKay Trophy and helped prepare the Army flyers for World War II. “Bar Napkin Tactics: Combat Tactical Leadership in Southeast Asia,” by Darrel Whitcomb tells of the refinements to search and rescue in the Vietnam War. John Farquhar concludes the issue with his account “Arctic Linchpin: The Polar Concept in American Air Atomic Strategy, 1946-1948,” where he details the significance of the North Polar Region in U.S. Cold War strategy (no pun intended.) Scott Willey has come up with more than twenty new book reviews. Bob Dorr completes his final History Mystery. Rob Bardua and George Cully have compiled the latest reunions and symposia. Don’t miss the photos of the Doolittle Award ceremonies and Foundation Award banquet on pages 62 and 63. There are also a few other departments and, sadly, obituaries.

"Up, up the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle, flew; and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God."

  • ROM the Moment He Learned of His Appointment As Commanding
    CHAPTER 28 PROBLEMS OF COMMAN D ROM the moment he learned of his appointment as Commanding F General, Allied Air Forces, South-West Pacific Area, General Kenne y must have had few illusions about his new task . He was wished good luck at Washington with the comment that "from reports coming out of tha t theatre" he would need it. From General Arnold and General Marshal l his only instructions were, "Simply report to General MacArthur ." Of this meeting with his two chiefs he has written, "I was told that there were about 600 aircraft out there and that should be enough to fight a pretty good war with. Anyhow, while they would do what they could to help me out, they just had to build up the European show first''' . On the day that he left the United States for Australia the Japanese establishe d their Gona-Buna beach-head . He learned of this at Hickam Field, Hawaii. Kenney flew to Brisbane where General Headquarters, S .W.P.A., and Allied Air Forces Headquarters had now been established, having moved from Melbourne on 20th July and thus sited themselves 800 miles neare r the scene of actual operations . 2 Here he found first that, to use his own crisp phraseology, "Brett certainly was in wrong . Nothing that he did was right. " This he heard from MacArthur's chief of staff, Genera l Sutherland, whom he described as " a brilliant, hard-working officer [who] had always rubbed people the wrong way " , adding, "He was ego- tistic, like most people, but an unfortunate bit of arrogance combined with his egotism had made him almost universally disliked ." According to Sutherland ".
