I have read that after his graduation from West Point in 1944, Lt. John Eisenhower got to visit with his father. On one of the beaches, watching the dense motor and foot traffic, Lt. Eisenhower said, &quot;You couldn&#x27;t do this if you didn&#x27;t have air supremacy.&quot; Gen. Eisenhower snorted and said &quot;I wouldn&#x27;t be here if I didn&#x27;t have air supremacy.&quot;
