Publisher's Synopsis
""Billy Mitchell: Founder Of Our Air Force And Prophet Without Honor"" is a biography of General William ""Billy"" Mitchell, a pioneering figure in the development of the United States Air Force. Written by Emile Gauvreau, the book tells the story of Mitchell's life, from his early years as a military officer to his controversial career as an advocate for air power. The book explores Mitchell's efforts to promote the importance of air power in military strategy, as well as his conflicts with military leaders who opposed his ideas. It also examines Mitchell's role in the development of American aviation technology and his efforts to improve the training and capabilities of American pilots. Despite his significant contributions to the development of the Air Force, Mitchell was ultimately court-martialed for insubordination, and the book explores the reasons behind this controversial decision.
