Here’s something TRUE about Clint... He was in plane crash in the ocean back in 1951:
Here is the Independent Journal’s Oct. 1, 1951 account of Clint Eastwood’s plane crash off Point Reyes:
Two servicemen, who battled a thick gray fog and a strong surf for almost an hour last night following a plane landing in the ocean near the Marin shore, are returning to their service units today uninjured.
Army Pvt. Clinton Eastwood, who wandered into the RCA radio station at Point Reyes after struggling in the ocean, told radio operators he and the pilot were forced to land their AD-2 bomber in the ocean and left on life rafts.

>Say what? An AD-2 bomber is a NAVY bomber, not Army. Famously known as the “Skyraider”... which was in constant operation off aircraft carriers near the coast of Korea during this time - the same time Eastwood allegedly landed in the Pacific - in 1951, when the Korean War was going on.
The AD Skyraider was the Navy’s main weapon against the North Koreans at the start of the Korean War, and the Chinese Communists after they came into the war.
How is it Army Private Clint Eastwood would be in a Navy Skyraider at this time, “returning to his service unit” (which would be Army not Navy) to land in the Pacific?
Something’s screwy here.
