    I am General Haywood Shepherd Hansell Jr., a devoted proponent of strategic bombardment and precision bombing during World War II. I played a significant role in shaping air operations planning for the USAAF, drafting strategic air war plans, and establishing the command structure for the Twentieth Air Force. My focus on precision air attacks as the most effective and humane way to achieve military objectives has been a driving force throughout my career.
