Curtis Lemay of the United States (1906-1990)

General Curtis Lemay of the US Air Force is credited with the immortal phrase, "Bomb them to the Stone Age." His implementation and design of bombing missions in the Pacific Theater of World War 2 were significant. LeMay joined the American air force in 1928, and in 1942 he received a promotion to bombardment commander. He organized airstrikes on Germany and North Africa and created bombing directions, combat boxes, etc.

He was prepared for aviation operations against Japan following the attack on Pearl Harbor. However, because the Himlayan trials had to be overcome, bombing Japan was not an easy task. Mariana Island was thus taken by American bases. The sophisticated bombs "Little Boy" and "fat man" decimated more than sixty-three Japanese towns in 1945. When the country's largest cities burned to the ground, Japan was torn to pieces. Before retiring in 1965, LeMay continued to serve and rose to the position of US chief of staff.
