Clark Gable joined the US Army Air Force after his wife, actress Carole Lombard, died in a plane crash while she was on a nationwide tour selling war bonds. Gable was commissioned a lieutenant, and was later promoted through the ranks to major. He trained in photography in aerial gunnery. Assigned to the First Motion Picture Unit of the AAF, Gable was sent to England to film a documentary on the 351st Bomb Group. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal for filming five bombing missions over Germany. Gable returned to the US in October 1943. Since he was too old for combat duty, was granted a release from active duty at his own request on June 12, 1944. His discharge papers were signed by Captain, future President, Ronald Reagan.
The battle scenes are actual combat footage.
During his career star/producer Clark Gable only appeared in one feature film about World War II: Command Decision (1948). A story in the April 1948 issue of "The Hollywood Reporter" stated that Gable encouraged his studio, MGM, to buy the rights to William Wister Haines' novel "Command Decision" as a vehicle for him, in which he would play the main character, Brig. Gen. K.C. "Casey" Dennis.
"Clark Gable: [describing the contrails left by the B-17s, showing their locations to the Luftwaffe fighters] Long trails of magnificent treachery."
