The material deals with Arnold as a student at West Point, as an infantry officer in the Philippines, as a student pilot under Orville Wright, as a close associate of William Mitchell, as Chief of the Army Air Corps, and Commanding General of the USAAF and Member of the Combined Chiefs of Staff during World War II.

Recollections trace the progress of aviation between the two World Wars: commercial aviation, air mail development, record flights, technological improvements, air races and polar flights, gliders, and lighter-than-air craft. General William Mitchell's campaign for strengthening military aviation and Charles Lindbergh's solo flight to Paris provide focal points for many accounts of this period. Eyewitness stories of episodes in World War II deal with exploits of the RAF, the Luftwaffe, and the USAAF; and range from the Battle of Britain to Hiroshima. Research and production problems and achievements are detailed from the outset to the jet era and the beginnings of rockets and missiles. The material includes descriptions of the breaking of the sound barrier, stories of test pilots for supersonic planes, and accounts of aerial warfare in Korea.
