Air Force General William Momyer died last month. No word on whether he got his star during the war or after it. So in theory, there could still be a surviving WWII general still alive somewhere.

His bio on wiki states, "Momyer returned to the United States in 1944 and became chief of the combined operations of the Army Air Forces Board. As a member, he played a significant role in the development of Air Force doctrine for air-ground operations."

Any idea if that would have been a one star billet?
