Gen Daniel James Jr ends a nearly 35 year career spanning three wars at the top of the heap in Washington. He leaves with four stars as commander in chief of air defenses, noting progress from segregation era and the 1945 Freeman Field incident. Vice Adm Samuel Gravely Jr. leads the notable cohort of black officers reaching such ranks. James, recovering from a heart attack, reflects on less racism in the armed forces and his historic rise.
