Leslie Howard was born in London on this day in 1893 and died in a plane crash in 1943.
We remember Mr. Howard for his role as “Ashley Wilkes” in “Gone with the wind”, the movie released in 1939.
However, there is another side to Mr. Howard’s career or his involvement in the war effort in the early 1940’s. His plane was shot down in 1943 and many believe that the Germans were shooting at a spy plane.
We will never know the full story. It could have been a tragic mistake, such as the case of Glenn Miller in December 1944. Nevertheless, Leslie Howard was dead and a great actor was gone.
