This episode is Part Sixteen of the epilogue for Stanley's letters, "Dearest Ones," that he wrote to his family throughout the Second World War. Michael G. Sievers, the writer, producer and creator of "The Silver King's War" podcast series, discusses his work and father's war. It's June 1944. Stanley is working hard to increase his flying hours. A big shot bumped him from a Chicago training mission and family visit. One mission bump and mechanical problems during a separate training flight changed the course and outcome of Stanley's war. Now, however, The King has new orders: he will report to Barksdale Field in Shreveport, Louisiana, for B-26 training.
