"Terrible" Tunner, impatient, coldly efficient, has made his biggest mark as a top transport troubleshooter. West Pointer Tunner headed up the wartime Air Transport Command's ferrying division, later brilliantly steered the arduous Burma-China supply shuttle over "the Hump," the 1948-49 Berlin airlift, and the combat air supply in Korea.

To the surprise of Manhattan critics, they also follow the rules of good sculpture.
