About General John T. Chain Jr.

General John T. Chain Jr. (1934-2002) was one of the most respected leaders in United States Air Force history.

Chain flew combat missions during the Vietnam War and later played a critical role in overseeing America's strategic nuclear deterrent. Under his leadership, Strategic Air Command maintained the readiness of the nation's bomber and missile forces during a period of global tension and rapid technological advancement.
