Does anyone know what ranks William "Billy" Mitchell had and when he received them? Is this right? 1915 Major1917 Lieutenant-Colonel1918 Brigadier-General
He was a Major at the time of America's entry into the War in April 1917, promoted to Lt. Col shortly afterwards, and a Brigadier General by the end of the War. Haven't got any more details, but there is a feature film about him called something like "The Court-martial of Billy Mitchell". There might be more info in that if you can get hold of it.
