John Ford
During World War II, Commander John Ford, USNR, served in the United States Navy and made documentaries for the Navy Department. He won two more Academy Awards during this time, one for the semi-documentary The Battle of Midway (1942), and a second for the propaganda film December 7th (1943).[32][33][34]
Ford was present on Omaha Beach on D-Day. As head of the photographic unit for the Office of Strategic Services, he crossed the English Channel on the USS Plunkett (DD-431), anchored off Omaha Beach at 0600. He observed the first wave land on the beach from the ship, landing on the beach himself later with a team of US Coast Guard cameramen who filmed the battle from behind the beach obstacles, with Ford directing operations. The film was edited in London, but very little was released to the public. Ford explained in a 1964 interview that the US Government was "afraid to show so many American casualties on the screen", adding that all of the D-Day film "still exists in color in storage in Anacostia near Washington, D.C."[35] Thirty years later, historian Stephen E. Ambrose reported that the Eisenhower Center had been unable to find the film.[36] Ford eventually rose to become a top adviser to OSS head William Joseph Donovan. According to records released in 2008, Ford was cited by his superiors for bravery, taking a position to film one mission that was "an obvious and clear target". He survived "continuous attack and was wounded" while he continued filming, one commendation in his file states.[37]

THE UNITED STATES ARMY SIGNAL CORPS
OTROS ARTÍCULOS
The U.S. Army Signal Corps began in 1860, with the appointment of Dr. Albert J. Myer, a physician, as Chief Signal Officer. Under his command, the unit transformed sign language used to communicate with deaf persons into a semaphore system incorporating red and white “wigwag” flags. During the Civil War, the Signal Corps operated air balloons and telegraph machines. By the time the United States entered World War I in 1917, the corps had integrated the airplane and more advanced technology into its communications systems.
In World War II, the Signal Corps' size and role in military affairs increased dramatically. From a staff of 27,000 persons, it expanded to over 350,000 men and women by 1945. The need to coordinate swift and accurate communication for air, ground, and naval units required more sophisticated technology and services. The Signal Corps pioneered in the development of radar to detect approaching aircraft as well as mobile communications and deciphering machines.
In addition to its primary role in military transmissions, the unit also played a key role in producing training films for army and civilian personnel, and documenting combat missions. During World War II, noted Hollywood producers, directors, and photographers (such as Darryl Zanuck, Frank Capra, John Huston, and George Stevens) all served in the Signal Corps. They brought their talents in the motion picture studio to the field of battle, while dozens of others provided instruction to the personnel.
In the European theater of operations (ETO), Signal Corps photographers took part in the landings in North Africa, Italy, and later Normandy. On D-Day (June 6, 1944), members of the unit hit the Utah and Omaha beaches, forwarding the first film of the amphibious assaults to England via carrier pigeons. The Signal Corps subsequently documented every major military campaign in the ETO, producing millions of feet of combat film and hundreds of thousands of developed still images. From these sources, the Army supplied the news media in the United States and elsewhere with imagery of the war, using 24-hour air delivery service and later sophisticated telephoto electronic-transmission equipment
In the course of photographing World War II, the Signal Corps also played a crucial role in documenting evidence of Nazi atrocities and the Holocaust. Many of the early still and moving pictures of newly liberated Nazi concentration camps were taken by Army photographers such as Arnold E. Samuelson and J Malan Heslop. A number of these images were later transmitted to news agencies in America and other countries, where they helped to inform the world about the horrors of Nazism and the plight of concentration camp prisoners. The U.S. Army and the Allied military governments of Germany eventually used these photographs to confront German prisoners of war in the United States and the German population with the evidence of Nazi crimes.

Mirar este link que os dejo, hay algunos actores que aun no estan en la relacion

Peter Falk: Peter Falk lost his right eye as a child due to a tumor. In 1945 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, and memorized the eye chart so he could pass the physical. The examiner became suspicious when his right eye didn't move. The Marines would not take him, so he joined the Merchant Marines.
Leslie Howard: In 1939, he played the character that was always to be associated with him - that of Ashley Wilkes, the honor-bound disillusioned intellectual southern gentleman in Gone With The Wind. But war clouds were gathering over England and Leslie devoted all his energy on behalf of the war effort. He directed films, he wrote articles and made radio broadcasts. He died June 1, 1943 when the KLM plane he was on was shot down by German fighter pilots over the Bay of Biscay.
Julia Childs: She was born Julia Carolyn McWilliams in Pasadena, CA., on Aug. 15, 1912, to an upper-class family that employed a cook. According to her biographer, she couldn't even boil water when she graduated from Smith College in 1934 with a degree in History. Child, who was 6' 2" tall, had intended to be either a novelist or a baskteball player.
During WWII she served with the Office of Strategic Services (an agency that later became the CIA). She served first in Washington, DC, then in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and later China. It was during that time that she met her husband, Paul Child. After WWII he was assigned to the U.S. Information Service at the American Embassy in Paris.
It was in Paris that Julia started her culinary career, at the Cordon Bleu, one of France's premier culinary institutes. In collaboration with her two French collegues, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, she wrote "Mastering the Art of french Cooking", which appeared in 1961. Child was 49 at the time the book was published.
The volume remains in print and is considered a seminal work because of its simplicity, clarity and effect, which was to illustrate that anyone who wished could cook classic French cuisine. Craig Claiborne, the long-time food editor of the New York Times called it "a masterpiece". The book led to an interview with WGBH in Boston, and the responce to that interview led to the debut of "The French Chef" in 1961, Child's long running PBS show. Julia Child's kitchen has been preserved as an exhibit at The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

Me encata esto de tener que leer los post con el diccionario de ingles al lado 
Me encanta culturizarme.
Por cierto el señor John Ford es el responsable de que muchas de las batallas que nos han llegado son a menudo trucadas, es decir, recreó unas cuantas de ellas con tal precisión que no es de extrañar que llegara a genio del cine. NO porque no quisiera filmarlas, es que a menudo no le dejaron acercarse al frente para ello. Fue una de las razones por las que acabó llevandose mal con las fuerzas armadas de su pais.( Y de paso con media industria del cine)

con una historia en la que aparece el General Franco y negociaciones de alto nivel que estoy seguro que os parecerán interesantes.
Según el estudioso del tema, el actor perdió su vida tras el ataque de ocho aviones Junkers 88 cuando sobrevolaba tierras de Cedeira (La Coruña) el 1 de junio del 1943.
De ser así, la información que lo localiza del golfo de Vizcaya resultará errónea.
