Combat America is a 1945 documentary film produced during World War II, narrated by Clark Gable. At the time of the film's production in 1943, Gable was a major in the Eighth Air Force, a unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces. While he was stationed in England, Gable flew five combat missions from May 4–September 23, 1943, and during one of them, his boot was struck by an anti-aircraft shell, and he was nearly hit by other flak bursts. Gable's film crew included MGM cameraman Andrew J. McIntyre; First Lieutenant Howard Voss, a sound engineer; Master Sergeant Robert Boles, a cameraman; Master Sergeant Marlin Toti, another cameraman; and First Lieutenant John Mahlin, a scriptwriter."
