Editing Claire Lee Chennault (section)

==Memoirs==
In 1949, Chennault published his memoirs, ''Way of a Fighter''.  The book covers his entire life but is especially detailed in recording his experience in China. The difficulties that he faced in modernizing fighter tactics, even in emphasizing airpower as a weapon, are clearly explained.  His disagreements with and criticisms of the theater commander, General [[Joseph Stilwell]], who was trained in the infantry and seen by Chennault as unappreciative of the capabilities of airpower, are a major portion of the memoirs. The book ends with his retirement from the Air Force and his return to China six months later to aid the nation's recovery.
