Celebrities and heroes.

[Maj.Nick Danger]

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.

And out of all of them, Jimmy Stewart was the MAN.

 

["Doc" Devereux]

David Niven was a Sandhurst Graduate and Lt. Colonel of the British Commandos in Normandy.

That's a bit thin. Surely they've declassified some of his career by now?

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.
