  • GHQ Air Force Headquarters
    Chapter XVI GHQ Air Force Headquarters The history of General Headquarters Air Force went back at least to 1917 and the men who drew the first plans for the American Expeditionary Force. They conceived aviation as having two principal functions-tactical and strategic. Tactical air units worked with ground units, furnishing direct support. Strategic units operated on their own, beyond the battlezone. William Mitchell, Edgar S. Gorrell, Benjamin D. Foulois, and other AEF members developed plans for an air force to fly strategic missions against Germany. Pershing balked at the idea of independent operations but approved creation of a strategic air force under control of General Headquarters AEF. This air force was never formed, since the war ended before aircraft for strategic operations came on the scene.’ The postwar organization the U.S. Army adopted in 1920 provided a GHQ Reserve which included aviation to be used as a centrally controlled strike force and for reconnaissance. The Lassiter Board in 1923 suggested an air force for combat operations and special missions under the control of General Headquarters. Army regulations the following year authorized a GHQ Air Force in time of war. Mobilization plans in the mid-1920s allotted attack, pursuit, and observation aviation to armies, and observation units to army corps, for direct support of ground forces. They also called for a GHQ Air Force of 5,200 officers, 46,000 enlisted men, and 2,300 airplanes. Under the command of an air officer who reported to the commander in chief in the field, the GHQ Air Force would further the commander in chiefs strategic and tactical plans.
