This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The only marking on the back of this photo says "General Fickle." Anyone know who he is?

an educated guess:
MAJOR GENERAL JACOB E. FICKEL
In February 1940, he was appointed Assistant Chief of Air Corps in Washington, D.C., and was later assigned to Riverside, Calif., on Oct. 12, 1940, as Air District Commander, transferring as Commanding General of District No. 3 Technical Training Command, Okla., on March 5, 1942.
