"""Millard Harmon is the most important airman people don't know. A flyer through and through, it fell to him alone among senior pilots in World War II to command a large Army organization on the fighting front. He remains the shining light for air forces and airmen searching for a command perch of combined and joint operations, if only they'd look to Robert Novotny's fast-paced, insightful, ground-breaking book.""

""Millard Harmon should stand with Billy Mitchell and Hap Arnold as a founding father of the USAF. On the cusp of victory in World War II, Harmon's plane disappeared over the Pacific, and history largely forgot him. Novotny's first-rate biography rights this wrong.""
