As commander of Air Task Force 13 in Taipei, Tawain, in 1955, then Brig. Gen. Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr., built an organization that would demonstrate the resolve of the Eisenhower administration to defend Taiwan. General Davis would perhaps be best remembered as commander of the World War II Tuskegee Airmen, and retired as the U.S. Air Force’s first black three-star general.
