The author was a senior historian at the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center. He received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. During World War II he served as historical officer of the Army Air Forces Tactical Center, Orlando, Florida and assistant historical officer of Headquarters, Far East Air Forces in the Philippines. After the war he joined the United States Air Force Historical Office and later relocated to the Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

A comprehensive history of the U.S. Far East Air Force in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the AF effectively injected itself into the war in its first week, providing transportation, evacuation, intelligence, but most importantly the means to delay the rapid advance of the North Korean forces. Futrell describes all these operations with a clarity and a balance that have since become a model for official military history. He has analyzed the operations, interpreting their significance to the course of the conflict & their importance in the application of air power in modern warfare. Reprint, Revised Edition.

After the war he joined the United States Air Force Historical Office and later relocated to the Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

Simpson was so significant a historian in the United States Air Force, that it's Historical Research Center is named for him. A comprehensive history of the U.S. Far East Air Force in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the AF effectively injected itself into the war in its first week, providing transportation, evacuation, intelligence, but most importantly the means to delay the rapid advance of the North Korean forces. Futrell describes all these operations with a clarity and a balance that have since become a model for official military history. He has analyzed the operations, interpreting their significance to the course of the conflict & their importance in the application of air power in modern warfare. Derived from a Kirkus review: Air superiority was the key to survival and success for the U.N. forces in Korean conflict. Futrell's, et a, history of the U.S. Air Force in Korea definitely analyses the achieving and maintaining of that superiority. The military, logistical, political problems, the successes and failures of the endeavor are carefully and clearly brought forth. Futrell skillfully manipulates a mountain of facts and makes highly readable. A concise delineation of the international political forces which dominated the war is threaded through the narration. Also welded into the account are many of the author's penetrating observations on military and other matters. Of these, the first part of Chapter 15, "Thoughts on Airpower as political Weapon", is especially enlightening. This is more than a good history of particular military branch in a particular war. It is a detailed study of the complexities of modern warfare and a sobering restatement of the continuing Soviet-American global struggle. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
