The “King of Hollywood” (and U.S. Army Air Forces aerial gunner), William Clark Gable was born 115 years ago on February 1, 1901. In the newsreel clip above, he returns a salute, having just received his aerial gunner’s wings. Following his training, Gable went on to help produce the aerial gunner recruiting film “Combat America”, flying 5 bombing missions over Europe in the process.
