Jimmy Stewart was a private pilot when WWII started. He had to fight the system to get a commission, but ended up as a squadron and group commander in England. Like most senior officers, he took his turn serving as a Command Pilot, leading formations for the 8th Air Force. My father in law was also a Command Pilot and flew with Stewart as well as participating with him in mission planning. senior leader conferences, etc. He said that Stewart was a good combat leader and never played the celebrity card.
It is excellent. Extremely well done. Great program to listen to.
