Fiction & Pleasure Reading - Jimmy Stewart: Bomber Pilot

Of all the celebrities who served during World War II, Jimmy Stewart was unique. When the attack on Pearl Harbor woke many to the reality of WWII, Stewart was already serving with the Army Air Corps Moffet Field. Seeing war on the horizon, Stewart, had enlisted several months earlier. Book chronicles the star's journey to become a bomber pilot. Recounts how Stewart's first battles were with the Air Corps high command, who insisted on keeping the naturally talented pilot out of harms way as an instructor pilot for B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators. Stewart managed to get assigned to a Liberator squadron in the mighty Eighth Air Force. He rose to command his own squadron and flew twenty combat missions, including one to Berlin.
