The Modest Warrior: Carl Spaatz and Victory through Airpower
This eight-page undergraduate paper examines the vital contributions USAAF General Carl Spaatz made to the Allied victory in the Second World War. The author notes that Spaatzs mastery of strategic air war strategy and tactics enabled him to make vitally important contributions to victory in the Second World War, but emphasizes that his unassuming nature was just as important, for it was this quality that made him truly effective, not only as the commander of tens of thousands of young airmen who flew their fighters and bombers into combat, but among his rivals within the councils of the Allied high command as well.
