I thought Mr. Rogers was Gilligan's squad leader when he saved Eddie Haskell's life in VietNam. Oh, wait a minute; I'm getting it all screwed up. Sam the Butcher flew the plane when Ernie Douglas parachuted in to extract Flipper from Cambodia. Yeah - that's the ticket!

I think Stallone was overcompensating for his spinal inadequacies with those movies.

Interview with Dr. Ruth.
[url]http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/06/0611_030611_drruth.html[/url] Tom Foreman: You were trained as a sniper? Dr. Ruth: We were all trained in the forerunner of the Israeli Defense Force, and for some reason that I can't explain I'm a very good sniper. I can put five bullets into this little red circle (makes circle with her fingers). I know how to throw hand grenades. I've never killed anybody. I was badly wounded. Tom Foreman: There was a bomb that went off in the barracks. Dr. Ruth: Yes. Tom Foreman: Many of your friends were wounded as well? |

I believe Jimmy Stewart flew B-17's not B-24's
My old man was a ball turret gunner on a 17 so I'm kinda sensitive about that . Also , Clark Gable wasn't a pilot . He flew along on some missions to make a wartime RAH RAH film . |

He flew along on some missions to make a wartime RAH RAH film . Jimmy did fly B-17's but apparently only in the States.I work for HQ Air Force Reserve at Robins AFB, and Brig. Gen Jimmy Stewart is spoken very highly of as Class Act who led by example and cared for the welfare of his men! Anyone who flew Bombers over Europe has BALLS and my respect, God the 8th AF got the shit beat out of them--the casualty figures are enormous! Here is what I pulled off of USAF Museaum's AFB site.url[url]http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/history/wwii/js.htm[/url] On Mar. 22, 1941, Jimmy Stewart was drafted into the U.S. Armed Forces. He was assigned to the Army Air Corps as an enlisted man and stationed at Moffett Field, Cal. During his nine months of training at that base, he also took extension courses with the idea of obtaining a commission. He completed the courses and was awaiting the results when Pearl Harbor took place. A month later he received his commission and, because he had logged over 400 hours as a civilian, he was permitted to take basic flight training at Moffett and received his pilot wings. During the next nine months, he instructed in AT-6, AT-9, and B-17 aircraft and flew bombardiers in the training school at Albuquerque, N. Mex. In the fall of 1943, Stewart went to England as Commanding Officer of the 703d Bomb Squadron, equipped with B-24s. He began flying combat missions and on Mar. 31, 1944 was appointed Operations Officer of the 453d Bomb Group and, subsequently, Chief of Staff of the 2d Combat wing, 2d Air Division of the 8th Air Force. Stewart ended the war with 20 combat missions. He remained in the USAF Reserve and was promoted to Brigadier General on Jul. 23, 1959. He retired on May 31, 1968. |

Dr.Ruth was not a IDF Sniper. I spoke to her about five years ago when she was in Alaska. She told me that she was a ground pounder. She was given a Sten gun and granade. While advancing on a fortified possition she was shot in the leg. She said that she never got to fire a shot. If you ever meet he you will see that she has a slight limp. One of the coolest people I have ever met.

Anyone know if it's true that Charles Lindbergh had been a civillian consultant training air corps pilots? In addition, rumor has it that he flew numerous missions (which he was not supposed to do) and did engage in one dogfight which he won. Then, because they were afraid he was going to get himself killed, they pulled him out of the theater. |
