Roosevelt chosen successor for Marshall to shape air power role
President Roosevelt faces a decision on who will replace General George C. Marshall as commander for a planned European invasion. Lieutenant General Joseph D.

The likely alternative is Lieutenant General Brehon Somervell, though Hopkins influence could elevate a different command.
