Jónsson Cardinal
In set theory, a Jónsson cardinal (named after Bjarni Jónsson) is a certain kind of large cardinal number. An uncountable cardinal number κ is said to be ''Jónsson'' if for every function ''f'': sup><ω → κ there is a set ''H'' of order type κ such that for each ''n'', ''f'' restricted to ''n''-element subsets of ''H'' omits at least one value in κ.

Billy Mitchell
William Lendrum Mitchell (December 29, 1879 – February 19, 1936) was a United States Army officer who is regarded as the father of the United States Air Force. Mitchell served in France during World War I and, by the conflict's end, commanded all American air combat units in that country.
