For those who may not know, James (Jimmy) Stewart was the operations
officer for the 445th bomb group which flew B-24's.

My favorite Stewart story was the time a few of his people stole a keg of
beer
from the officer's club. They had it stashed under one of the bunks.
Stewart
walked into the hut and said he needed to talk with the men. As they
gathered
around, he walked over to the bunk, lifted the hanging blankets, and drew
himself
a cup of beer. Then he told them that the club was missing a keg of beer.
"I
know you fellahs don't know anything about that, but, if you hear anything
....."

The keg made a miraculous reappearance at the club.
