William Kelly Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Some people know him more for the The Twining Memo http://www.roswellfi...OIA/twining.htm Yes, if you read it all, it gets interesting, as not only did he write the memo requesting the military take "flying discs" seriously, begin a project to study them and assign a crypt to the program, his son told the story of how his dad missed his birthday because he was a Roswell, rescued an ET and took him to Wright-Pat. Twining preceeded LeMay as chief of Air Force and is a civilian in the photo with Dulles, Lansdale and Cabell, but is certainly in their class.

Len Colby Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Bill why are you interested in him? What connection, if any, do you think he has to the assassination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kelly Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Bill why are you interested in him? What connection, if any, do you think he has to the assassination. Well, I came across the photo of Dulles, Lansdale, Cabell and Twining, and considering the company he's in, wondered who Twining was. Turns out he's a pretty interesting guy. It seems that the strategy of massive retaliation nuclear attack came in under his stewardship of the US Air Force, as well as the recommendation to take UFOs seriously. As LeMay's predecessor, Twining set the pace and style for the SAC that LeMay commanded. He may not have been at Dealey Plaza but he's in the picture.
