Chiefs of Staff Biographies

Several weeks ago I posted a list of the Air Force generals who served as Chief of Staff at the US Taiwan Defense Command from 1955 until 1978. I thought it might be helpful to the readers of this BLOG to post them again, this time with individual links to their official US Air Force biographies.

As I said earlier, I had to estimate the dates of some of their tours at USTDC, but I'm reasonably confident that most of them are correct as listed. If you find any errors, please let me know.
