AEDC at 75: Hap Arnold’s vision takes flight
Gen. Henry “Hap” Arnold, the commanding general of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II and the U.S. Air Force’s only five-star general, left, awards Theodore von Kármán the Meritorious Service Medal after the Scientific Advisory Group’s first year. That group was formed by von Kármán at Arnold’s request and visited Germany in May 1945 to survey testing and research facilities there. Scientific Advisory Group would later present these findings and their recommendations for future U.S. aeronautical research and development in a report entitled Toward New Horizons.
