General Henry H. ‘Hap’ Arnold: Architect of America’s Air ForceAviation History | one comment | Print This Post | Email This Post
Arnold survived at least five heart attacks during his adult life. His heart finally gave out on January 15, 1950, at his ranch home near Sonoma, Calif. He was 63 years old and had served his country for 42 of those years. Although he had never fired a gun or dropped a bomb in combat, he had led the development and employment of the largest air force in the world. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with the full military honors he so richly deserved. Subscribe Today
