	Curtis LeMay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curtis Emerson LeMay (November 15, 1906 – October 1, 1990) was a General in the United States Air Force and the vice presidential running mate of independent candidate George C. Wallace in 1968.
		LeMay soon concluded that his bombers were dropping their bombs near their targets only 5% of the time, and that losses of aircraft and crews were unsustainably high due to increasingly competent Japanese air defenses, including high-altitude interceptor aircraft and flak cannon.
		LeMay was quite aware of both the brutality of his actions and the Japanese opinion of him — he once remarked that had the U.S. lost the war, he fully expected to be tried for war crimes, especially in view of Japanese executions of uniformed American flight crews during the 1942 Doolittle raid.
