  • جون هوسكينز (بالإنجليزية: John Hoskins)‏ هو عسكري أمريكي، ولد في 22 أكتوبر 1898 في بينيفيلي في الولايات المتحدة، وتوفي في 31 مارس 1964 في فولز تشيرش في الولايات المتحدة. (ar)
  • John Madison Hoskins (22 octobre 1898 - 30 mars 1964) est un aviateur et vice-amiral de la marine des États-Unis. Quatre ans après être sorti diplômé de l'United States Naval Academy, Hoskins entre à l'école de vol. Il sert alors dans l'aéronautique navale et devient commandant de porte-avions dans l'océan Pacifique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré la perte de son pied droit à la suite d'une explosion à bord de l'USS Princeton (CVL-23) en 1944, Hoskins refuse la retraite et continue à servir comme commandant du nouvel USS Princeton (CV-37). Après la guerre, Hoskins est l’un des principaux promoteurs des avions à réaction sur porte-avions et il est affecté au commandement de la formation des premiers pilotes de l’aéronavale sur avions à réaction. Il participe lui-même à un vol de démonstration qui convainc le Département de la Marine des États-Unis d’intégrer pleinement les avions à réaction dans l’aéronavale. Dans les premiers jours de la guerre de Corée, Hoskins est affecté dans le premier groupe aéronaval arrivé sur place après le déclenchement des hostilités. Le groupe aéronaval placé sous son commandement à bord de l’USS Valley Forge (CV-45) est le premier à apporter un soutien aux unités de l'armée sud-coréenne en pleine retraite. Pendant son commandement, le Valley Forge et sa flotte effectuent deux déploiements en zone de guerre afin de repousser l’avancée ennemie. Le groupe aéronaval est ainsi l’un des principaux contributeurs au succès du débarquement d'Inchon. En 1955, avant sa retraite, Hoskins fait l'objet d'un film biographique réalisé par John H. Auer et intitulé The Eternal Sea avec Sterling Hayden et Alexis Smith dépeignant Hoskins et son épouse Sue. (fr)

After the war, Hoskins became a leading proponent of jet aircraft on carriers, was assigned to training command of the first naval jet aviators designated for carrier assignment. In the early days of the Korean War, Hoskins commanded the first carrier group on station following the outbreak of hostilities on the Korean peninsula; the naval flight group under his command based on USS Valley Forge gave airborne support to retreating South Korean army units. While he was commanding officer of Valley Forge, the carrier group and her aircraft were twice deployed to the war zone to repel advances by the enemy and made major air cover contributions to the successful Inchon landings. While commanding Carrier Division Seventeen, "Uncle John" Hoskins was featured in a Life Magazine article which helped familiarize the public with carrier operations in the Korean theater. Hoskins was later assigned to command the Military Air Transport Service, MATS flying U.S. military personnel of all branches to and from duty stations around the globe, often helping to bring wounded personnel quickly from remote areas to base hospitals where their wounds could rapidly receive medical care. In 1955, Hoskins was the subject of a biographical film made by Republic Pictures entitled The Eternal Sea with Sterling Hayden and Alexis Smith portraying Hoskins and his wife Sue. After retirement, Hoskins was appointed head of the Department of Defense's Office of Declassification Policy. (en)
