Yes, and he got a court martial for his efforts, although it was supposedly for saying some Army and Navy officials were criminally negligent. I think he was right too. It is ironic, that Hap Arnold, Carl Spaatz, and the subject of the thread, none other than General MacArthur were there. I think Ben Foulois was there too, but no he was no fan of Mitchell. One of the prosecutor's grand sons, was Air Force chief of staff in the 1990s. I think in 2005, Mitchell congress authorized the promotion of Mitchell to Major General. Mitchell was vindicated, of course, and ironically, the aircraft named after him, the B-25, was the first to attack Japan. Too bad he did not live to see that. Mark, USAF, retired
