This episode is Part Six of the epilogue for Stanley's letters, "Dearest Ones," that he wrote to his family throughout his Second World War. Michael G. Sievers, the writer, producer and creator of "The Silver King's War" podcast series, discusses the history of his father's Air Corps unit and the B-26 Martin Marauder's evolution as a worthy medium bomber. Stanley's unit, the 597th Bombardment Squadron, was activated literally miles from his pilot school at Lakeland, Florida, just as his flight dreams went through "the laundromat." (This episode published on October 15, 2022, the thirty-second anniversary of The Silver King's death in Rockford, Illinois. He was 67).
