Osage Nation relatives of Maj. Gen. Clarence L. Tinker, dressed in native attire, sing and dance to a song written to Tinker during their annual four day celebration called In-lon-shka held in Pawhuska Indian Village, Okla., June 30, 2013. Tinker was the highest ranking officer of Native-American ancestry and the first general lost in action during World War II. AF Heritage: Gen. Tinker still honored by native Indian tribe
During the early days of World War II, an Army Air Corps major general, who was an Oklahoma native, and member of the Osage Indian tribe, was named to lead the air effort in Hawaii following Pearl Harbor. Maj. Gen. Clarence L. Tinker managed to stay close to his tribe during his 30 plus years as a military aviator, and today, more than 70 years after his death, is still honored by that tribe.
