U.S. Air Force

Armstrong commanded the first U.S. heavy bomber mission in Europe, the first U.S. heavy bomber mission over Germany, and the last heavy bomber mission over Japan. His experiences over Germany became the basis for the book Twelve O'Clock High by Bierne Lay Jr. and Sy Bartlett. His missions over Japan targeted primarily petroleum refineries.

Following the end of the war, in November 1945, Armstrong led the first non-stop flight from Hokkaido to Washington, D.C. Armstrong retired with over 11,000 hours of flying timed logged, including time in the B-47 Stratojet.
