Howard Ramey studied at Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Mississippi State University) before enlisting in the Air Service and receiving his commission. He spent much of his career in aerial reconnaissance, and attended the Air Corps Tactical School and Command and General Staff School. Kenney requested Ramey's transfer from Hawaiian Air Force to the Southwest Pacific to replace Walker, who had disappeared
on a bombing mission. Ramey proved a more congenial subordinate that
Walker, particularly on the value of skip bombing, but disappeared
himself on a reconnaissance flight in April 1945.
