		Dik Alan Daso's "Hap Arnold and the Evolution of American Air Power" of the Smithsonian History of Aviation Series is an incomplete, if interesting and well-written volume about a unique and visionary man. Daso's book is an intimate look at General of the Army Henry Arnold from birth up until about 1939.
		These include several controversies that involved Arnold. It may be that Daso considered the story delineated in his sub-title did not require treatment of these topics, or that he is too close to his subject.
		Also interesting is the role Arnold played in the birth of the thinktank Rand Corporation. Overall, this is an excellent book recommended for anyone interested in learning about who Hap Arnold was, and how the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces came to be the man he was.
