Also, Clark Gable was a pilot in the Army Air Force.
I believe he was a gunnery officer in the 303rd bomb group in England during the war.He did fly combat missions and the Nazis had a bounty on him if he was captured.Grounded as it would have been bad for the war effort.Jimmy Stewart had the same thing happen to him flying B-24s out of England.There is a really neat story of him as he was pulled of combat flying and was allowed to fly only a pokadotted formation ship(B24).The story goes that too many b-24s dropped out of the mission due to one thing or another so he flew the mission to help fill in one of the positions in a combat box.The mission was to france IIRC.Upon his return from the mission he was restricted from flying anymore combat missions.
