Harold Quiskie[nb 1] Huglin (22 September 1906[3] – 24 November 1975) was a United States Army Air Forces and United States Air Force brigadier general who served in World War II.
A 1929 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York,[4] Huglin was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery. He applied for pilot training, and transferred to the United States Army Air Corps in 1931. He flew air mail routes when the Army was called upon to deliver air mail in 1934. During World War II he served in Europe with the Eighth Air Force. He commanded the 100th Bombardment Group, 13th Combat Bombardment Wing, 4th Combat Bombardment Wing and 92nd Bombardment Wing, and flew nine combat missions, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for leading one on Magdeburg in August 1944. After the war he served on the staff of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe, in the Pacific with the Military Air Transport Service, and in Washington, DC, in the Office of Defense Mobilization.
