∙ 13y agoThere were probably several actors who were awarded the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross during World War Two, but the most famous was James Stewart, who was awarded the decoration twice for bravery in aerial combat.
Stewart, though initially relegated to flight instructor duties stateside, eventually persuaded his commanders to send him overseas, where he would fly B-24 bombers on raids into Nazi Germany.
Stewart retired as a Brigadier General in the Air Force reserve; President Reagan subsequently promoted him to Major General.
