A native of Torrington, Connecticut, and graduate of Wilbraham Academy, Holley attended Amherst College and graduated in 1940 (cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa). He then pursued a doctoral degree at Yale University, and for his academic success in his first year received the Tew Prize as Outstanding Scholar in History. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Holley enlisted in the United States Army and became an aerial gunner. Promoted to staff sergeant, he was an instructor at Harlingen Army Air Base in Texas. Subsequently he attended Office Candidate School at Miami Beach, Florida, commissioning in April 1944, and then headed a gunnery school at Charleston Army Air Base. Following that, he was assigned for technical intelligence work at the Headquarters, Air Materiel Command, at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. Promoted to the rank of captain by the conclusion of the war, Holley returned to the civilian world in 1946 but remained in the reserves. From 1945 to 1947, Holley was a faculty member at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces before taking a position at Duke University for the remainder of his career. He would ultimately rise to the rank of Major General, retiring in 1981.〔Holley, Headquarters Gazette, p. 5.; biographical reference in I.B.
