Mature Youthfulness. At 46 (on Jan. 24), Hoyt Vandenberg is typical of many top-rank U.S. airmen. He combines the energy of an athlete with mature judgment. He is dead serious and fluent about anything having to do with aviation, reasonably interested in such lesser matters as golf (low 80s), tennis, gin rummy, Scotch highballs and good panatelas. Like most airmen of top rank, he has spent all his Army career learning and unlearning about air operations...
Volunteers. On the day before this crisis, slim, restless Major General Hoyt Sanford Vandenberg, commander of the U.S. Ninth Air Force, had popped into the headquarters of 40-year-old Major General Elwood Ricardo Quesada, head of one of the Ninth's chief components-the IX Tactical Air Command, whose fighter bombers were stationed back of the First Army. "Van" Vandenberg and "Pete" Quesada went over reports, decided that this was the real thing. The immediate task was to muster every fighter bomber into attacks, to impede Rundstedt's armored spearheads. Generals Van and Pete faced hard facts...
...that it was on the loose, the Ninth might turn in a classic of tactical air war. But the man who had speeded it into action was no longer commander of all of it.

Nugent's-had been shifted at least temporarily from Vandenberg's to "Mary" Coningham's command. The switch was a part of the realignment by which Field Marshal Montgomery had taken over command...
Tall (6 ft.), gregarious Hoyt Vandenberg still had a big outfit and able sub-commanders. The XIX Tactical Air Command, headed by quiet, efficient Brigadier General Otto P. ("Opie") Weyland (rhymes with island) was Vandenberg's link to the battlefields of Lieut. General George S. Patton's Third Army. Vandenberg's bomber outfit was a whopper, headed by Brigadier General Samuel E. Anderson, whose Marauders and Havocs had played a big part in pushing the German airfields back from the Atlantic in advance of Dday...
