In this episode of Duty & Valor, we take a deep dive into the extraordinary life and service of Brigadier General Kenneth N. Walker, a visionary leader whose bold actions helped shape the future of airpower during World War II. Known for leading from the front, Walker refused to stay behind the lines and instead took to the skies alongside his men in some of the most dangerous missions of the war. His strategic brilliance and personal bravery culminated in a fateful mission over the Pacific, where he made the ultimate sacrifice. Awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously, Walker’s legacy is one of unparalleled courage, innovation, and commitment to his country.
