My Mom told me and I heard that actor from
Gone with the Wind.
Lesley Howard ..(Ashley), was shot down in his plane
in World War 2 on a mission and killed.
What ever happened to Sean Flynn , son of Errol FLynn
in Vietnam, I believe he was a reporter and just
disappearred there. He was reporting on what our vets
were doing. Maybe he knew too much?
My husband recently read the book that told about the espionage activities during WWII - I think the title is "A Man Called Intrepid" - and the author said that they knew ahead of time that Leslie Howard's plane was going to be shot down but couldn't do anything about it because it would have destroyed an important source of information behind enemy lines. He was talking about some of the very painful and difficult decisions that had to be made at times.
