Send us a text

This is episode fourteen in the final review of The Silver King's War. It's September 1945. Stanley makes his second Atlantic Crossing, this one from Antwerp, Belgium, to New York Harbor. The European war ended in early May and his four-month wait is finally over. When he reaches the states, Stanley learns that he's not quite done with the Air Corps. President Harry Truman has mandated an Organized Reserve Corps to ensure the nation's readiness for future military service. Initially proposed as a volunteer role, Stanley reads a War Department Memo to confirm his mandated commitment.
