Hello and welcome to another episode of the World War II podcast for a long time I've been

fascinated by movie stars who chose to join the military and saw combat during World War II.

And one star in particular has always interested me, Jimmy Stewart, a big star in the 1930s.

In 1940 he would win the Oscar for Best Man in the Philadelphia story and he was

nominated also for one for Mr Smith goes to Washington yet when war came he was insistent on not avoiding it and joined the

United States Army Air Force flying combat missions over Europe. So joining me to discuss Jimmy Stewart's military career is

Robert Mattson, author of Mission Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe. But before I start I'd like to take a moment to thank all

those people who have become patrons of the podcast. They help me find the time to work on the show. I hope you guys find the
