While reviewing my D Day history, I thought this was interesting. That the ONLY US 5 star General of the Air Force, and the only american to achieve 5 star general status in two different services WAS TAUGHT TO FLY BY THE WRIGHT BROTHERS.

Henry H. Arnold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I wonder if you asked Gen. Arnold what he thought of the Wrights?

By the way. I am greatly interested in the Wrights for may reasons, most should be obvious. But one reason is that the first man killed in a flight with the Wrights was a graduate of the same high school that I graduated from.
