HENRY HARLEY 'HAP' ARNOLD
(1886 - 1950) American general, commander of the Army Air Force through most of World War II, responsible for instituting the daylight bombing raids on Germany. War-date signature 'Gen. H. H. Arnold' in the return address area of a War Dept. envelope mailed from Washington on July 18, 1944 to 'Ashley T. Cole'. Cole, a prominent lawyer, was a collector of military and other autographs who, according to the New York Public Library, assembled 'one of the most impressive collections of material anywhere at the time.'
