Probably one of the more influential people in Air Force history that very few of it's members know about. Perhaps that is because he was so good as pissing off the brass in the Pentagon. The biography on him is a pretty good read - Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War by Robert Coram

Don't forget the always admirable ability to piss off the brass. They tried to get him out so many times, and he proved himself too valuable. The only reason he didn't get a star is because of all the admin-side people he pissed off...lol
