From the Wall Street Jounral:
As a rare woman in Air Force blue, Jeanne Holm paved the way to make aerial warfare less of a boys' club.
Gen. Holm, who died Feb. 15 at age 88, rose from an Army truck driver during World War II to the Air Force's first female general.
After a pioneering career in the nation's youngest service, then-Col. Holm in 1965 was named the Air Force's director of women, and she used the office as a platform to lobby for women's inclusion in Air Force jobs that had been off-limits.
