Colonel Phillip Van H. Slayden (1913 - 1996) stayed on in the Air Force after World War II. He taught Military History at West Point, served as the US Chief Advisor to rehabilitate the Republic of Korea's Air Force after the war, and commanded the 4504th Missile Wing at Orlando, Florida, among other assignments. From flying kite-like bi-wing aircraft with no brakes in 1937 to standing up America's first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) School in 1959 at Orlando, Van Slayden helped advance the most powerful Air Force in history. Patrecia Slayden Hollis collaborated with her father on this book. She was the Editor of the Army and Marine Corps professional journal, "Field Artillery," for 20 years at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, interviewing for publication 80-plus combat veterans, including division and corps commanders returning from Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Among other awards, she received the Dallas Press Club's 2006 Katie Award and Statue for Best Interview with Marine Lieutenant General John F. Sattler, "The Second Battle of Fallujah--Urban Operations in a New Kind of War." Pat Hollis was inducted into the US Field Artillery Hall of Fame on May 18, 2022 as the first and only woman to be inducted and one of two nonmilitary inductees.
