This episode is Part Seventeen of the epilogue for Stanley's letters, "Dearest Ones," that he wrote to his family throughout the Second World War. Michael G. Sievers, the writer, producer & creator of The Silver King's War, discusses his work and father's war. It's mid-June 1944. Stanley has new orders to pack & ship. His delay in training hours, due to mechanical problems and extra nights in Missouri, meant his group shipped from South Carolina without him. Instead, The Silver King will learn to fly the B-26 Martin Marauder with his crew at Barksdale Field in Shreveport, Louisiana. This assignment is the pivotal change in Stanley's war. It means he will go to the European Theater of Operations after D-Day.
