Tom Sparks of The Short Snorter Project plans to mount an exhibit at the upcoming ANA National Money Show. -Editor

"The exhibit features the short snorter signed by Clark Gable and pilots of the 352nd Fighter Group stationed at RAF Bodney ("Blue-Nosed Bastards of Bodney") who fought with the 8th Air Force. This exhibit will be on display at the ANA National Money Show in Savannah and will then be donated to the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force which is located up the road 15 or so miles in Pooler, GA."

For our younger readers, Clark Gable was an American Hollywood leading man best known for playing Rhett Butler in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind. Although he was beyond the draft age, he enlisted as a private in 1942. Assigned to make a motion picture of aerial gunners in action, he flew operational missions over Europe in B-17s to obtain combat film footage. -Editor
