Powered by Airmen: Billy Mitchell
Airmen like Maj. Gen. Billy Mitchell paved the way for the Air Force. His commitment to pushing boundaries and working towards a distinct aerial service branch seeded a renaissance for the airpower legacy that would distinguish itself during conflicts across the globe for years to come.
Mitchell never stopped advocating for airpower though his dedication to developing the aerial warfare aspect of the military led to his military resignation in 1926. Ten years after his resignation, Lt. Col. Mitchell passed away, but was posthumously promoted to major general, and awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of his outstanding pioneer service and foresight in the field of American military aviation. He is known as the "Father of the U.S. #AirForce."
