		Hoyt Sanford Vandenberg, air force officer, chief of staff, U.S. Air Force, 1948-1953, and nephew of prominent U.S. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R-Michigan) was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 24, 1899.

		For example, Vandenberg and his staff never came up with new nighttime tactics to meet the Communists’ ability to move supplies under cover of darkness.
		It was such factors, along with a desire to maintain continuity of leadership in wartime, that led the president to extend Vandenberg’s appointment for two years, until 1953.
