He was Superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy during 1974-1977, and was its seventh Superintendent in that role.[citation needed] During his superintendency, the first women cadets started at the academy: on 26 June 1976, 157 women entered, of whom 97 would eventually graduate in 1980. He was born on November 17, 1925 in Louisville, Kentucky. He entered the U.S. Military Academy in 1944 and was in military service for his full career, retiring on July 1, 1983. He died of cancer at the hospital of Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on August 11, 1992. An official United States Air Force biography, written in 1981, reports: The James R. Allen School, now known as Brandenburg Primary School, or JRA, in Brandenburg, Kentucky, was named for him.
