- Arthur William Radford was a United States Navy Admiral, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Pacific Command and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Arthur Radford was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1896. After graduating from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in 1916, Radford served on board the USS South Carolina. A career naval officer, Radford completed flight training in 1921 after serving in World War I and was appointed Chief of Aviation Training in 1941, shortly before World War II. During WWII, Admiral Radford commanded Carrier Division Eleven in the Pacific during 1943 and Carrier Division Six in 1944. In 1948, Radford was named Vice Chief of Naval Operations and the next year was appointed High Commissioner of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. In 1953, at the height of the Cold War, Admiral Radford became the third Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He served in that position until 1957, when he retired. During his retirement, Radford still advised Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson from time to time and was selected as a member to the Draper Committee. As Chairman of the JCS, Admiral Radford paid close attention to the fate of the French in Indochina, and especially during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. At Admiral Radford's urging, US air support (in the form of two B-26 bomber squadrons) was dispatched to defend the beleaguered French garrison. It is also reported that Radford discussed with the French the possibility of using atomic weapons in support of the Dien Bien Phu base.(3) Admiral Radford died in 1973 at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. He was buried with full military honors in Section 3 of Arlington National Cemetery. The Spruance class destroyer USS Arthur W. Radford (DD-968) was named for him. Radford High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, was named for Admiral Radford. The school, established in 1957, overlooks Pearl Harbor.

Nach seiner Schulausbildung absolvierte er die United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, wo er 1916 abschloss. Radford diente dann auf der USS South Carolina. Nachdem er am Ersten Weltkrieg teilgenommen hatte, absolvierte er 1921 als Marineoffizier eine Flugausbildung und wurde 1941 zum Kommandeur des Flugtrainings in der Navy ernannt, kurz bevor der Zweite Weltkrieg ausbrach. Während dieses Krieges kommandierte Admiral Radford 1943 die Flugzeugträgerdivision 11 im Pazifischen Ozean und 1944 die 6. Flugzeugträgerdivision. Nach dem Krieg wurde Radford 1948 zum Vice Chief of Naval Operations befördert und im Jahr darauf zum Hochkommissar des Treuhandgebietes der Inseln im Pazifik. Auf dem Höhepunkt des Kalten Krieges wurde Admiral Radford auf den Posten des Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff befördert. Er blieb bis zu seinem Rückzug aus dem aktiven Dienst 1957 in dieser Position. Im Ruhestand blieb der Admiral weiterhin Berater der Präsidenten Eisenhower, Kennedy und Johnson. Später wurde er zum Mitglied des Draper-Komitees bestimmt. Als Chairman of the JCS widmete sich Admiral Radford unter anderem der Entwicklung des Engagements Frankreichs in Indochina, insbesonder während der Schlacht von Điện Biên Phủ. Auf sein Drängen hin wurden zwei Bomberstaffeln mit B-26-Flugzeugen entsendet, um die belagerte französische Garnison zu unterstützen. Admiral Radford starb 1973 im Bethesda Naval Medical Center. Er wurde mit vollen militärischen Ehren auf dem Arlington National Cemetery beerdigt. Allgemein wird Admiral Radford als einer der einflussreichsten und fähigsten Admiräle in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten angesehen. Der Zerstörer der Spruance-Klasse USS Arthur W. Radford ist nach ihm benannt.
