Behind the 8 ball,..

While looking for something else, as usual I found an altogether different site.

But interesting nonetheless. A website devoted to the true stars that served their countries during the war. Some whose service I had known about, but many others I had not known about.

Clark Gable flew in some dangerous missions in B-17s over Europe. He made a terrific documentary film about air gunnery (the name escapes me at the moment.)

I've always admired him for that.
