A scrapbook shows various December 1978 photos of U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. (Ret.) James D. Hughes, former Commander in Chief of Pacific Air Forces (CINCPACAF). Assuming command of PACAF from June 1978 to June 1981, Hughes’ area of responsibility encompassed more than half the Earth's surface and two billion people living under more than thirty-five different flags.
