There never seems to be enough time in a day to accomplish all that you set out to do, but you stay organized and never lose sight of the mission ahead.

He was involved with a team at McCook Field that helped develop the first “guided missile” during World War II. It was through this experience that he realized the importance support of civilian scientists and engineers would play in the advancement of American military aviation. He was a fierce advocate for the Air Force being its own branch, earning him the nickname “Father of the Air Force.” His dream came to fruition in 1937.
