I'm not sure what you are getting at - military bases not being a part
of a city, or that the museum isn't within city limits. Actually, old
Wright field, where the museum is located, is within Montgomery County,
which is Dayton. The rest of Wright Patterson is in adjacent Greene
County. Since it's within the county limits, and well within the
built-up area of Dayton, I would argue that my answer is correct.


Actually, the Montgomery/Greene County line cuts across old Wright Field.
The Montgomery County line and the Dayton city limits are not coincident,
old Wright Field lies outside the Dayton City limits.



He was drafted, according to information on the Air Force Museum web
site:

and according to the Jimmy Stewart museum:

When he was called for service, he was declared underweight in the
medical exam, and initially rejected. He insisted that he be allowed in,
and his medical was overlooked. Therefore, the military considers him
legally as having been drafted. Because of his insistence in being
allowed to join in spite of his medical, I suppose one could consider
that he enlisted.


Stewart was called before the draft board in February 1941 but was rejected
because he was underweight. He went on a banana binge to add the necessary
weight and enlisted the following month.
