Just saw the movie Pressure. Excellent, But what gives me a little hope were the coming attractions. 2 WWII movies coming out. Jimmy about James Stewart in WWII, and another Lucky Strike. Three movie about patriotic Americans.
 
Ike - the fate of the civilized world on his shoulder. Will the storm continue, or will it end? Pressure!

After he did his first tour and required flights as pilot of a B-24, Jimmy Stewart wanted to do a second one. This was stopped by the 8th AF commander, they felt if he was stop down and captured or killed it would be used by Germany as a propaganda move.

Which is very likely what would have happened.
 
True, flying one 25 mission tour was exceptional and if the Luftwaffe identified his aircrqaft I'm sure they would have ganged up on it just to get an American celebrity and pilot.
