USA Air Commanders
This is a list of the air commanders for the USA. It should be accurate for Hearts of Iron 3 - Their Finest Hour. If you spot any mistakes, please let me know.
A couple caveats: First, the "end" column is shown for consistency with other charts. So far as I know, no American leaders expire. Second, I only show max skills that I have verified; American leaders are somewhat tough to max out in general, because of the shorter timeframe, and air leaders tend to be tough to max out, so the max skill column is also pretty much just there for consistency. Third, I have not seen new leaders from 1946 onward, so I did not research past 1945. Therefore, there may be some that I have missed.
