摘要

When the US Army needed a new commander for air forces in the Southwest Pacific in July 1942, Maj. Gen. George C. Kenney was not the first choice. The Army's first selection was Lt. Gen. Frank Andrews, but Andrews had previous knowledge of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of Allied forces in that part of the world, and detested him. He managed to evade the assignment. The Army's second choice was Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, hero of the airraid on Tokyo, but MacArthur said he was too flamboyant. That was rich coming from MacArthur, who was famous far and wide for his egocentric style. Thus it came down to Kenney to replace competent, easygoing Lt. Gen. George H. Brett, who had clashed with MacArthur and his heavy-handed chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland.
