Which of these film stars was a wartime bomber pilot?
Correct answer: James Stewart
Hansome Ray
Awesome Patriot with talent! Unlikely to have a great celebrity also serve their Country like him again.
MALICE
It has always amazed me how military men and women come back from killing and lead normalish lives. My father passed from agent orange from vietnam. Praise to all our military past present and future...Thank you for your service <3

It's a shame that Hero's. like Stewart were too humble to speak out about their service. Maybe if they had, we'd have fewer Hollywood celebrities speaking out against our current military efforts.

OssifiedBubble402, by the time he made Brigadier General, it was the Air Force.

Lou
Hansome Ray, you not going to fine them like that anymore
Tony
Player #4319749, I've seen it 3 or 4 times. The people nearly freaked when they found out that the German man who designed their craft from the remains of their crashed plane actually worked for a toy company.
Jackie
Hansome Ray, Audrey Murphy was also a great one

Hansome Ray, actors back in the day were the real thing. not the chesp imitations we have now.

He had PTSD when he returned from the war, and the first film he made after returning was "It's a Wonderful Life". You can see it in the scenes where George Bailey is suffering. Wonderful actor and man.
Roberta Ann
I loved Jimmy Stewart in "It's A Wonderful Life," "Spirit of St. Louis," and "Rear Window."

MALICE, I read that Stewart did not come back unaffected. Some of his greatest scenes on film when he looked panicked were due to his drawing on the horrors of war.

It seems the great stars in the past served the USA and our freedoms with dignity and honor (James Stewart, Clark Gable, Paul Newman and more). All we seem to have now are spoiled, America hating, self-important, narcissistic, ungrateful elitists.
Player #5100533
Hansome Ray, Audie Murphy, Being one of the MOST decorated Heroes of WW2. Became a celebrity Movie star, after the war. They'll Never be a MAN like him either. !

Concerning the B-36, I,an airforce brat, had touched the fuselage of said aircraft in Goosebay Labrador. I was about 8 yrs old & this occurrence will be denied in official circles. Was the Security
officer sent to Siberia?--uh, I should say Alaska or Greenland, perhaps.
And, I'm a Canadian! Never mind the movies, I lived it!
But boy did I ever get my father into a lot of trouble!!
