Clark Gable was the biggest movie star in the world when he joined the military. Devastated after his wife, actress Carole Lombard, was killed in a 1942 plane crash while she was raising money for War Bonds, he enlisted in the Army Air Force at the age of 41. He served as an observer-gunner in B-17 Flying Fortresses between May 4 and September 23, 1943, earning the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his efforts. He also narrated the AAF film Combat America.
