This is the story of American hero and B-17 Flying Fortress gunner, Clark Gable. This is the story of his combat tour and what made him the most priceless service member in the 8th Air Force over Europe!

I did not know Gable was in his 40's when he enlisted in the Army Air Force.
Gable's discharge papers were signed by Captain Ronald Reagan.

I don’t think he was a gunner. I think he was photographer on a B17 but I could be wrong. I know he was broken hearted from the loss of his wife, Carole Lombard. She died in a plane crash after a war bond drive just a month after the US entered WWII.

As the speaker said, about Clark Gable, Just how many Hollywood actors volunteered to serve in our Military after 911. Nada, Zip, Zilich.

"Just how many Hollywood actors volunteered to serve in our Military after 911. Nada, Zip, Zilich." Bruce Willis attempted to, but was turned away due to age. And while not a Hollywood actor, Pat Tillman had a lot to lose, and lost everything after deciding to enlist after 9/11.
