A 25-year-old Henry “Hap” Arnold sits at the controls of a Type B two-seater Wright plane in 1911 while learning to fly under instructions of the Wright brothers at their school in Dayton, Ohio. Arnold, the commanding general of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II and the U.S. Air Force’s only five-star general, spearheaded research and development efforts to bolster national air superiority. His vision led to the establishment of Arnold Engineering Development Complex. (U.S. Air Force photo)
