This episode is Part Thirteen 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 father's writing and war. The Silver King has arrived at Columbia Army Air Base in South Carolina and enjoys the simple perks of being an Air Corps officer, including living off base in a private home. He's lonely, and lacking approval for marriage, he's trying to buy a 1936 Ford Phaeton. His rationale: it's a long way to the flight line.
