Sievers, the writer, producer &amp; creator of The Silver King&apos;s War, discusses his work and father&apos;s war.  It&apos;s mid-June 1944. Stanley has new orders to pack &amp; 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&apos;s war.  It means he will go to the European Theater of Operations.<ul> <li>Contact us: thesilverkingswar@gmail.com </li> <li>Please review The Silver King&apos;s War on Apple Podcasts</li> <li>Share our hero, The Silver King, with family &amp; friends</li> <li>Share The Silver King&apos;s War on social media</li> <li>Thank you for listening to our podcast</li> </ul>

Dearest Ones Epilogue: 15-Day Leave

"The Silver King's War" is a podcast series (with episode transcripts available on Applecast) of World War II plays (The Silver King, Marauder Men, Serviceman and Who Is Della) based on true events about a young man, Stanley Silverfield, who joins the United States Army Air Corps to serve his country as a Martin Marauder B-26 Bombardier flying in the 9th Air Force.&nbsp; Stanley wrote letters to his family throughout World War II from January 1943 to October 1945. An exploration of his war letters, “Dearest Ones,” follows the four plays.&nbsp; The series concludes with a trilogy of plays, "The Silverfields of Northbrook," which follows the family's 1950s Midwest suburban life. Stanley, born in Birmingham, Alabama, on April 23, 1923, died on October 15, 1990, in Rockford, Illinois. He was 67. The Silver King is my dad.&nbsp; Please enjoy and share "The Silver King's War."
