How old was John Wayne in 1942? He did not serve in the military like so many other stars, eg Douglas Fairbanks jr or Jimmy Stewart. Any ideas?.

38 in 1942. His wiki page makes no mention on WW 2. He was already married.

Jimmy Stewart enlisted but originally was rejected due to lack of weight. Eventually went in as a private but quickly rose throught the ranks. He already had a commercial pilots license.

Either John Ford gave the Duke a lot of crap about not serving.
