Clark Gable after the war 1946

Published on Sep 6, 2012 Combat America” was produced, written, directed, and narrated by Clark Gable while he was on assignment with the 8th Air Force, developing a gunnery training film. Though it packs plenty of very exciting footage and , in many ways, it’s as much a warm home movie as a hard bitten, wartime “information” film.

Gable flew bombing missions with the 351st until he was ordered to stop by “the Brass.” He felt he had to share the danger and experience what these B-17 crews were going through to make an honest film. I digitally color corrected. a copy of this film from the National Archives. Zeno, Zeno’s Warbird Video Drive- I copied this from uTube.
