 Wasn't Douglas MacArthur given the rank of General Of The Armies 
sometime during either WWII or Korea? Or was he just your garden-
variety five-star general? (-:
 
 Also, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the USAF once had
a five-star general (presumably General Of The Air Force). Can 
anyone confirm or deny this?
