Title
Mission: Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When he left Hollywood in March 1941, Jimmy Stewart was Americas boy next door movie star and a recent Academy Award winner. He left all that behind to join the United States Army Air Corps and fulfill his family mission to serve his countryonly to face obstacle after obstacle from both Hollywood and Washington. Finally he made his way to the European Theater, where several neardeath experiences and the loss of men under his command took away his youthful good looks. The war finally won, he returned home with millions of other veterans to face an uncertain future, suffering what we now know as PTSD. For the next half century, Stewart refused to discuss his combat experiences and took the story of his service to the grave. Mission presents the first indepth look at Stewarts life as a Squadron Commander in the skies over Germany, from takeoff to landing and every key moment in between. Author Robert Matzen sifted through thousands of Air Force combat reports and the Stewart personnel files; interviewed surviving aviators who flew with Stewart; visited the James Stewart Papers at Brigham Young University; flew in the cockpits of the B17 Flying Fortress and B24 Liberator; and walked the earth of air bases in England used by Stewart in his combat missions of 194345. What emerges in Mission is the story of a Jimmy Stewart you never knew until now, a story more fantastic than any he brought to the screen.
