Шаблон:Short description Colonel Hartley Allen Moon (5 February 1877[1] – 9 April 1946[2]) was the adjutant general of Alabama[3] from 1919 to 1927.[4] [5]

Moon was born in Goodwater, Alabama. At the rank of major, Moon commanded the US Infantry 167th 2nd Battalion[6][7] during World War I; they arrived in France in late 1917[6] and saw action in the Lorraine region in early 1918.[8] Moon was wounded in the action.[9]

After the war, he helped World War I flying ace James Meissner in the transformation of the Birmingham Flying Club into the 135th Observation Squadron, which was assigned to the state of Alabama in 1922.[3]

In the late 1920s, he had a house built in the Cloverdale-Idlewild neighborhood of Montgomery, a house which was later inhabited by Wayne Greenhaw. In the 1930s he served as colonel in the Alabama National Guard.[2]

He died in Montgomery, Alabama in 1946, aged 69.[1] [10]
