Finch, born April 11, 1902 in Dade City, Florida, is considered one of the pioneers in United States aviation history.

 Under his leadership, the Air National Guard built to combat readiness and was among the first components called into service after the outbreak of the Korean War.
 As a result of General Finch's vision and perseverance, 45,000 highly trained officers and airmen of 22 wings and 65 squadrons gave the Air Force the strength it needed in the early, critical phases of the Communist drive down the Korean peninsula.General Finch served as the senior Air Force member of the United Nations negotiating team at the peace talks at Panmunjom, Korea, and received the Legion of Merit for outstanding service in 1955; General Finch assumed command of Fourteenth Air Force, Robins AFB, Georgia, becoming the nation's first Air National Guardsman to head a numbered air force.

 He also established and endowed the General John P. McConnell Award at the United States Air Force Academy.
 Considered by many as the father of the strong, independent Air National Guard existing today, General Finch retired in 1957.
