I looked Curtis Le May up.

The wiki quotes him as saying: "I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal."(https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/peopleevents/pandeAMEX61....)

Did not stop him doing it to North Korea and he was unable to get WWIII off the ground, thank goodness.

Some redemption for his role in the Berlin airlift. Particularly for passing the job over to one better qualified.

A complex character - I wanted to find a psychopath, but simply a mass murderer.
