Kinda enjoy the old films so Bogie, Grant, Fonda, Cagney etc are favorites.

But I kinda have a soft spot for the old B24 pilot, Jimmy Stewart.

Never acted in a war film, but played a combat pilot in real life.  He didn't have to do it but felt it was his resposibility. Enlisted before Pearl Harbor and after winning an Oscar. Needless to say his movie bosses were not happy.

B17 instructor pilot
B24 pilot and Squadron CO 703rd BS, 445th BG, 8th AF
Group Operations officer 453rd BG

Lead the 445th BGs first mission to Keil, Germany December 13, 1943 and ended up flying 20 or so combat missions including to Berlin on March 22, 1944 and was flying on D-Day as well.

Image is from the recent book "Jimmy Stewart-Bomber Pilot" by Starr Smith.

He did Unca Sam and the Airforce a huge favor.. he did 'Strategic Air Command'.. excellent 'propaganda film; excellent footage of the B-36's in it.

Ditto here I love watching the old films as well.
In alot of ways its like watching a snapshot into the past as to how people were.
Never really thought about it till one day I was listening to my father in law talk and suddenly noticed some of the expressions and mannerisms.
then I started thinking about my grandfather and realised how he spoke and how his expressions and mannerisms were similar to movies made during the roaring the early talkies in the 20s

What we now consider corny acting is really the accurate way people were back then
