General of the United States Army Air Force, who commanded the Eighth Air Force during World War II (1896–1987). Four World War II-dated typed memos stamped “Secret” and “Confidential,” total of 34 pages, 8.5 x 11, dated between May 16, 1945 and June 3, 1945, consisting of communication between Giles and other Air Corps commanders, primarily Ira Eaker. Two are signed by Eaker, “Ira.” One letter, in part: “I have had an opportunity during the last three weeks to give Admiral Nimitz and his staff some good sales talk on strategic bombing. Admiral Nimitz is in full accord with the Strategic Air Plan for the Pacific… Admiral Nimitz announced…how well pleased he was with the results of the bombing of the Japanese cities.” Another states: “We feel, however, that the highest priority for long range fighters is to protect the long range bombers.” Various storage folds, scattered toning, filing holes, and office notations, otherwise fine condition.
