Combat America

Produced under the Office of War Information, Combat America offers an authentic look at the experiences of a single 8th Air Force B-17 crew. At just 63 minutes, the documentary captures the intense training and various missions undertaken by the crew during World War II.

Featuring notable appearances by Clark Gable, Bob Hope, and Frances Langford, this film serves as both a historical record and a piece of wartime propaganda. The involvement of Gable, who was a Lieutenant in the Army Air Force, adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative. Collectors of war documentaries or World War II memorabilia may find this film particularly significant, as it not only highlights the efforts of the military but also reflects the era's cinematic approach to documenting the war effort.
