T
he US Postal Service has issued a new stamp dedicated to a World War II pilot who also happened to be a major Hollywood star—Jimmy Stewart. The actor had already received his first Oscar for the 1940 movie The Philadelphia Story when he joined the Army Air Forces. He flew the B-24 bomber on 20 combat missions over Germany, receiving numerous decorations. He continued to serve in the Air Force Reserve, retiring as a brigadier general.
Air Force Chief of Staff nominee Gen. Henneth Wilsbach said he'll give special attention to coordinating with the Navy on buys of new weapons like the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile.
