George S. Patton - American Ajax



Just found and watched this which is what led me to find the above video. Free Amazon Prime viewing and, like the above, also excellent:

Great book. 99.99% of it is about Patton, not the conspiracy theory:

[Winston]

Another GREAT book about a different guy, same kind of hero, suffering the same sort of unfair and inaccurate criticism. HE is responsible for the modern USAF and not just the former SAC. I was amazed to find that post-WWII, he was the one responsible for USAF MWR hobby facilities like base auto hobby shops. He was a gear head himself. No other service had such things until he started them. He is also responsible for superior housing and food services. ALL of that was to attract and retain the best people since the pay back then seriously sucked.

LeMay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis LeMay

Used those auto shops a lot to keep my junkers running. SAC seriously sucked though - some clown thought rotating shifts was efficient, but it just made everyone tired all the time.
