American World War I ace (1879-1936) regarded as the father of the US Air Force, whose zealous ambition and vocal criticism of the War and Navy departments following the war led to a court-martial and his resignation. Vintage matte-finish 10.75 x 14 portrait of Mitchell wearing his decorated military uniform, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, "To Lieut. Chas. G. Pearcy, with the regards of, Bill. Mitchell.” In fine condition, with a small area of paper loss to the lower right edge. Mitchell remains rare in signed photos of this size—an impressive and desirable pose.
