Arnold, Commanding General of the United States Army Air Forces, talk things over during a visit by Gen. Arnold to the Naples sector in Italy following historic Allied conferences in Cairo, Egypt, and Teheran, Iran. Gen. Spaatz, at the time this picture was taken, was deputy commander of the Allied air forces in the Mediterranean theater. However, President Franklin D.
