Hollywood was loved even back then with the special treatment he got. I bet he was given all sorts of leave or special privileges to make movies. A lot were made while he was on active duty.

You obviously know nothing about Jimmy Stewart and how hard he worked to prevent the Army Airforce from using him as a flack. The Man flew a lot of B-24 missions in World War II and those were no joke.

Ok I’m sorry. I guess he is just a little more important than the others that did the same thing.

Btw, I’m not talking about his war service.

He was a reservist after WWII

 

[SS!]

Never heard of him. But never trust a guy with two first names

He was my next door neighbors wingman, on bombing runs in the war. They remained friends afterwards, and stayed close.
