* Colt Aircrewman AF-1 Presented to
* Colt Aircrewman AF-1 Presented to General Hoyt S. Vandenberg .38 spl. cal. 2" barrel S/N 4903LW. On the bottom of butt marked AF.-No.1; marked on the backstrap Property of The U.S. Air Force; on the inside of the grip strap engraved Gen Hoyt S. Vandenberg. Left side of barrel marked Aircrewman 38 Special Ctg.; the right side marked Colts Mfg Company Hartford Ct. Blued finish. Checkered wood grips with silver Air Force buttons.General Hoyt S. Vandenberg (1899-1954) was the American Air Force General in World War II (1941-1945) and the Korean War (1950-1953). He was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin and was a nephew of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg. He graduated from West Point (1923); after graduation from flying school at Brooks and Kelly Fields (San Antonio Texas) was assigned to the 3rd Attack Group then engaged in pioneer air-to-ground attack aviation (1924). He became a flight instructor at the Primary Flying School at March Field Riverside California (October 1927); was promoted to 1st Lieutenant (August 1928). He joined the 6th Pursuit Squadron at Wheeler Field Hawaii (May 1929) and took command of the squadron?in November. Returning to the U.S. (September 1931) he became an instructor and Stage Commander at Randolph Field Texas (1931-1935).He graduated from the Air Corps Tactical School at Maxwell Field Montgomery Alabama (1935) and?from the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth Kansas (1936). He returned to the Tactical School as an instructor (1936-1938). Vandenberg then graduated from the Army War College (1939) and was?assigned to the war plans division of the Air Corps Headquarters under General Henry H. Arnold.He rose quickly with the beginning of WWII. He was promoted to major (July 1941) lieutenant colonel (November 15) and colonel (January 27 1942). He was appointed operations and training officer (A-3) in the newly established Air Staff ?serving as?chief of staff?for General James H. Doolittle in the?Twelfth Air Force (August 1942). He distinguished himself in planning and organizing the American air effort for the invasion of North Africa (November 1942) and was?promoted to brigadier general (December). He became chief of staff of the Northwest Africa Strategic Air Force (March 1943) and?flew numerous combat missions over Tunisia Sicily Sardinia and southern Italy (March-August).Back in Washington he became deputy chief of the Air Staff (August) and?accompanied W. Averell Harriman and General John R. Dean as General Arnold's representative on a mission over the U.S.S.R. where he helped arrange bases for shuttle-bombing missions against Eastern European targets (September). He then returned to Air Corps Headquarters to work on plans for the invasion of France (December).He was promoted to major General (March 1944) and?joined Eisenhower's staff as deputy to Air Vice-Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory commander Allied Expeditionary Air Force. Following the invasion of Normandy Vandenberg was selected by General George C. Marshall to command the Ninth Air Force which provided air support for General Omar N. Bradley's Twelfth Army Group (July). His performance in that position won him a promotion to lieutenant general (March). He returned to Washington after V-E day (May) and was?named assistant chief of staff for operations for the Army Air Forces (July). He was appointed chief of the Army General Staff's Intelligence Division (January 1946).In June 1946 General Vandenberg was appointed by President Truman to be Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) as head of the Central Intelligence Group (CIG). He had been in office for less than a month when he proposed legislation to establish an independent Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) ?free from the control that had been exercised over the CIG by the armed forces and the State Department.?Thus in fact Hoyt Vandenberg was the first director of the CIA.Leaving the CIA in September 1947 Vandenberg was assigned as vice chief of staff of the newly independent United States Air Force then succeeded General Carl Spatz as Air Force chief of Staff (July 1948). He held that post through the critical periods of the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War (June 1950-July 1953). He retired from the Air Force (June 1953) and?died of cancer at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. (April 2 1954).An outstanding and resourceful air commander Vandenberg's tenure as Air Force chief of staff made him the real architect and builder of the new service. His advocacy of the U.S. Air Force as a deterrent to attack ensured the primacy of that arm in a period of fiscal restraint and limited resources.DECORATIONS AND AWARDS:Distinguished Service Medal with two Oak Leaf ClustersSilver StarLegion of MeritDistinguished Flying CrossBronze Star MedalAir Medal with Four Oak Leaf ClustersSix U.S. Service MedalsTwenty-one foreign decorations and awards.
