Waller, Douglas A Question of Loyalty. Gen. Billy Mitchell and the Court-Martial That Gripped the Nation.
New York Harpercollins 2004 0060505478 / 9780060505479 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
[8], 439 pages, 8 plates, cloth, DJ, very good. From Publishers Weekly: "A superb and charismatic Signal Corps officer and innovative air tactician in WWI, Mitchell, the son of a Wisconsin senator, faced an internal conflict: should he be loyal to his superior officers, whom he regarded as almost treasonably incompetent, or to what he saw as his country's best interests, which included a vastly larger, united and independent air arm? The result was a famous court-martial, which Time magazine correspondent Waller (The Commandos) , with scholarship and balance, makes extremely comprehensible and gripping to readers more than 75 years on. The shorter biographical portion portrays Mitchell as egotistical, insubordinate, a so-so pilot, a racist, a spendthrift and borderline alcoholic, and heavily responsible in a messy divorce from his first wife. The trial itself was a media circus of modern proportions; Mitchell emerges as somewhat more than a gadfly if something less than a hero, essential to the growth of modern American air power but hardly a spotless martyr or a major strategic thinker." SR4204A ; 439 pages
