The flipbook starts out with an interesting 3-page interview from October 1998 with Robert Stack. Other info: From Wikipedia: By the time he was 20, Stack had achieved minor fame as a sportsman. He was an avid polo player and shooter. His brother and him won the International Outboard Motor Championships, in Venice, Italy, and at age 16, he became a member of the All-American Skeet Team. He set two world records in skeet shooting and became national champion. In 1971, he was inducted into the National Skeet Shooting Hall of Fame.”
From Encyclopedia: In 1941, Stack’s film career was interrupted by World War II, in which he served as an aerial gunnery instructor in the U.S. Navy. He was absent from the screen from 1942 to 1948.
Other photos found on the internet. If copyrighted, let me know and I will remove. Even though he was typically cast as a dramatic actor, I sure enjoyed his comedic parodies in both, Airplane and 1941.
