Hale'S Handful . . . Up From the Ashes : the Forging of the Seventh Air Force From the Ashes of Pearl Harbor To the Triumph of Vj-Day

Major Peter S. H. Ellis, Usaf

Abstract

This study analyzes the evolution of Seventh Air Force’s joint command and control (C2) relationships as well as the development of joint operational procedures and doctrine in the Central Pacific during World War II. As this was arguably the most joint theater in World War II, there are many lessons about the challenges of joint C2 and the development of joint combat procedures that are relevant to contemporary airmen.
