This episode is Part Twenty-One 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 his work and father's war. The King has arrived at A-72 (397th Bomb Group, 597th Bomb Squadron) north of Paris.  They occupy a former German airfield. He's fine, his crew will fly intact, and his steady requests for smokes and food begin as he receives  a first letter from Birmingham in six weeks.  He's a Lucky Strikes man.
