JOHNSON FIRST 3RD AF COMMANDER By Roy Owen On 18 September 1996, Major General (Ret) Hoyt Vandenberg, Jr. and Mrs. Sue (Johnson) Vandenberg were honored guests of the U.S. Third Air Force Major General Tad Oelstrom and Sue Vandenberg beside the Historical Trail Commander, Major General Tad J. Oelstrom, at the Marker in front of Hq 3rd Air Force. dedication of his headquarters building 239, RAF Mildenhall as General Leon W. Johnson Hall, honoring her father, our combat leader, recipient of the Medal of Honor and the first Third Air Force Commander. Also attending by invitation was our Assistant Group Historian and English Representative Stephen P. Adams. Steve had furnished the Headquarters Public Relations and Historian staff with an array of photographs of General Johnson from the 44th FJG/14th CBW era. In his conversations with Sue Vandenberg relative to the Generals portrait, Tom Parsons learned of the forthcoming dedication and the invitation of the Vandenbergs to attend, and the fact that Sue Vandenberg had never visited Shipdham Airfield. He passed this on to me whereupon I immediately called Steve Adams to, once again, perform the duties of our Dr. Sligh, our friend Paul Wilson, Steve Adams and Sue Vandenberg during "get official representative and see that the Vandenbergs acquainted" time at the Arrow Air Pub. made it to Shipdham, and they were accorded every courtesy in touring as much of the Airfield as they pleased. Steve arranged to meet them at Arrow Air where they were hosted by Nigel and Jean Wright. After what Steve described as a great "get acquainted" visit, he gave the Vandenbergs his "Royal" tour. When the time came for farewells, he tells of the glisten of tears on both his and the cheeks of Sue Vandenberg. Once again, we owe our thanks to Steve Adams for his dedication to the 44th by representing and providing a 44th BGVA presence to such an historic occasion as the dedication, and a touching welcome for the Vandenbergs at our combat home base. The accompanying photos tell the story of both of these great events. ^ J Major General (Ret) and Mrs. Hoyt Vandenberg, Jr., along with Dr. Robert Sligh, 3rd AF Historian around the Medal of Honor display that will resident in General Leon W.

Johnson in McLean, Vfi was closed and sold, fimong the furnishings hung over the living room fireplace mantle was a magnificent oil painted portrait of the General by the artist Joe King. General Johnson had conveyed to his daughter, and 44th BGVR member, that it was his wish to pass the painting to the Mighty Eighth Museum in the name of the 44th Bomb Group Veterans Association. We learned this by way of Col. Ed W. "Mike" Mikoloski after his being notified by Mrs. Vandenberg, an artist in her own right, that, after some cleaning and small restoration work, she would see that the painting was delivered to Savannah, fit that time I contacted Tom Parsons in Atlanta and asked that he, along with John McClane, act as our 44th BGVfi representatives assisting in the delivery and portrait unveiling ceremony at The Mighty Eighth Museum.

  • The Rise and Fall of Missiles in the Us Air Force, 1957-1967
    FLAMEOUT: THE RISE AND FALL OF MISSILES IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE, 1957-1967 A Dissertation by DAVID WILLIAM BATH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Joseph G. Dawson, III Committee Members, Terry H. Anderson Olga Dror Angela Pulley Hudson James Burk Head of Department, David Vaught December 2015 Major Subject: History Copyright 2015 David William Bath ABSTRACT This dissertation documents how the U.S. national perspective toward ballistic nuclear missiles changed dramatically between 1957 and 1967 and how the actions and attitudes of this time brought about long term difficulties for the nation, the Air Force, and the missile community. In 1957, national leaders believed that ballistic missiles would replace the manned bomber and be used to win an anticipated third world war between communist and capitalist nations. Only ten years later, the United States was deep into a limited war in Vietnam and had all but proscribed the use of nuclear missiles. This dissertation uses oral histories, memoirs, service school theses, and formerly classified government documents and histories to determine how and why the nation changed its outlook on nuclear ballistic missiles so quickly. The dissertation contends that because scientists and engineers created the revolutionary weapon at the beginning of the Cold War, when the U.S. and U.S.S.R. were struggling for influence and power, many national leaders urged the military to design and build nuclear ballistic missiles before the Soviet Union could do so.

  • The Cold War and Beyond
    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.
