I remember that George Wallace was a B-17 tail gunner during WWII.

I think you mean Senator (Tail Gunner Joe) Joseph McCarthy.

George Wallace was a flight engineer.

Clark Gable was a waist gunner. He was there to film Combat America, but flew real combat missions, five officially, but many more unofficially (according to others in his unit).
