I thought that Bradley in his later years received a 5th star and outlived Ike by a few years.

Omar Bradley received his 5th star in 1950. He died in 1981, outliving Ike by 12 years. He was America's last 5 Star General.

Had Patton not been killed in the car accident, he would probably have received a 5th star.
