Theodore von Kármán, renowned mathematician, physicist and engineer, served as special adviser to Gen. Henry “Hap” 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, at Wright Field, Ohio. Von Kármán was tasked by Arnold with advisory group to provide recommendations on the future direction of aviation research. The Scientific Advisory Group visited Germany in May 1945 to survey testing and research facilities there. The group would later present these findings and their recommendations for future U.S. aeronautical research and development in a report entitled Toward New Horizons. (U.S. Air Force photo)
