	Billy Mitchell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mitchell elected to resign instead as of 1 February 1926 and spent the next decade continuing to write and preach the gospel of airpower to all who would listen.
		Mitchell's persistent jibes at the Navy were especially nasty, and Hurley argues they not only fostered bitter interservice rivalry but also spurred the Navy to greater efforts in developing carrierbased aviation-the precise opposite of what Mitchell intended.
		Mitchell was vain, petulant, racist, overbearing, and egotistical.

		Vindicated after his death Mitchell was posthumously promoted and awarded a special medal in his honour by Congress; the latter was presented by the Chief of Staff of the newly established U.S. Air Force to Mitchell's son in 1948.

	The Real Billy Mitchell
		Mitchell's command of airpower forces during 1918 was so clear that his basic concepts could be seen in air employment in combined operations for the rest of the 20th century.
		Mitchell's interest in bombing ships probably dated back to his relationship with Trenchard, who had told Mitchell that, eventually, airpower would be greater than sea power and filled him in on the struggles with British naval aviators over how to defend the English Channel against German bombers.
		Mitchell wrote in his book, Skyways: "It is now realized that the hostile main army in the field is a false objective and the real objectives are the vital centers." Taken alone, the vital-centers thesis seems to trump his wartime experience.
