Flyover of Mustangs

Actor Clark Gable poses in the waist gun of a B-17 Flying Fortress - June, 1943. He graduated OCS, eventually becoming a major. He flew in 5 combat missions as some kind of observer/gunner. One mission to Germany, his plane was hit by flak, lost an engine, attacked by fighters, had one crewman killed, and a piece of schrapnel went through his boot. When MGM studios found out, they begged the Air Corps to reassign him. Nice colorizing job on this photo.
