Air Force general (1893–1958) who commanded the famous Flying Tigers during World War II. ALS signed “Claire,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Hotel Frances letterhead, September 13, 1945. Letter to Peggy. In part: “We are en route to Washington, riding the air currents of a fresh norther. Ground speed well over 200 miles per hour and I hope this old crate holds together…I’ve sure had a marvelous week in La. Didn’t realize that I was so popular or that perfect strangers could be so kind and friendly. Both New Orleans and Monroe had the largest crowds in history and everybody seemed to be smiling and waving at me. I didn’t feel like a returning hero but more like a long absent member of a big family coming home. I am beginning to believe that rumor that I could be elected to any office in the State has some foundation in fact. I was urged everywhere to say that I would run for governor or Senator but refused of course. Still don’t think I would like politics and do not see any great field of usefulness in that direction.” In fine condition, with a mild shade of toning, and some light creases and wrinkles.
