James C. Stewart Fighter Ace Collection
Collection
Identifier: 2002-02-13-1098
The James C. Stewart Fighter Ace Collection documents Lt. Col. Stewart's life in the military from his enlistment in 1943 to his retirement in 1966, and also includes a small amount of personal materials. The collection is separated into three series by format: Photographic materials, Textual materials, and Audiovisual materials.
Series I., Photographic material, is 1.8 cubic feet of approximately 1500 photographs, as well as negatives and slides. There are also two empty photograph albums, which previously housed some of the photographs in this collection. The albums were disassembled for preservation reasons prior to their arrival at the museum; it is unclear which photographs were in these two albums but they have been retained to show the original housing and the captions on the pages within the albums. Most of the photographs are black-and-white, with some color images. Sizes vary, ranging from 2x2" to 11x17". Many images have very brief captions or inscriptions, noting locations, names, and dates. Stewart seems to have been an avid photographer and took many of the photographs in this collection himself. In general, the photographs are organized by subject, with the subjects organized into roughly chronological order.
The bulk of the photographs is comprised of both group and individual portraits depicting the squadrons and pilots in the VIII Fighter Command during World War II. Squadrons featured include the 61st, 62rd, and 63rd Fighter Squadrons of the 56th Pursuit Group, as well as the individual pilots from within these squadrons. Other pilots and squadrons are also included, although appear to be unidentified as to which unit. Assorted military aircraft, both in flight and on the ground, are also included in the photographs. There is also a series of images of a Messerschmitt Me 210 being shot down by Stewart, his first aerial victory.
Other topics covered include cadet training, including the daily activities of cadets; aerial and scenic photographs of Europe, including Great Britain and France; souvenir images and photographic postcards from various locations, such as Paris, France, and of assorted aircraft; and casual photographs of military officers engaging in "R & R" [rest and relaxation] and sight-seeing in Europe and Asia. The collection also includes personal photographs of family and friends, as well as images from a 1961 air show in Farnborough (England). Please note that Folder 28 contains slides which feature erotic imagery and nudity.
Series II., Textual material, is approximately 1.55 cubic feet and is primarily comprised of official military records from the 1940s-1966. The documents in this series are organized according to type, and each type is organized roughly chronologically. The exception to this are the materials in Folders 9-12. The documents in these folders were removed from their original binding and the original reverse chronological order was retained.
Many of the documents are personnel records for Lt. Col. Stewart, including his flight record, some medical records, military orders and memos, and promotion letters. Also included are numerous documents related to the orders and activities of the various Air Force divisions Lt. Col. Stewart was active in. There is also a small amount of military-related ephemera, including maps of Europe, an undated cartoon titled "I can't understand it! My altimeter read 4300 ft.! The ground is where you hit it!", procedure and pilot check lists, and foreign paper currency. There is a small amount of personal documents, including Stewart's high school student record (1935-1937), a membership card for the Boy Scouts, assorted clippings about Stewart, and copies of birth certificates for Jacqueline Caye (Bossong) Stewart (New York) and James Clarence Stewart (California).
Also included is a scrapbook box that contains the contents, in original order, of the scrapbook kept by Lt. Col. Stewart's mother during and after World War II. The contents include clippings about wartime activities, Lt. Col. Stewart's letters home to his family, photographs, souvenir postcards, and news items related to the wedding of Lt. Col. Stewart and Jacqueline Bossong.
Series III., Audiovisual Materials, contains six films dating from around the late 1940s to early 1960s. The films range in length from around five minutes long to around 15 minutes. Three of these films contain travel footage of England, France, Hawaii, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. One contains home movies of the Stewart family holiday celebrations. Two of the films contain footage of strafing and aerial combat from World War II.

Abstract
Lt. Col. James C. Stewart (1919-2004) was born in Corona, California. He joined the Army Air Force, graduated from flying school in August 1940, and was assigned to the 56th Fighter Group which was stationed in England during World War II. The collection primarily covers Lt. Col. Stewart's 1943-1966 military service with military records, personal documents, photographs, clippings, assorted ephemera, and films.
Biographical Note: James C. Stewart
Lt. Col. James C. Stewart was born in Corona, California on March 2, 1919. After graduating from Chaffee College (Ontario, Calif.) he joined the Army Air Force as an aviation cadet and graduated from flying school in August 1940. He reentered the Army Air Force as a commissioned officer in 1940 and was assigned to the 56th Fighter Group. The 56th Fighter Group primarily used Republic P-47 Thunderbolts at the time, and continued to fly them for the duration of the World War II.
The Group was stationed in England starting in January 1943 and commenced operational flying in April. Stewart recorded 12.5 victories during the operations he participated in throughout Europe, which included campaigns in Normandy, northern France, the Rhineland, Central Europe, and the Ardennes/Alsace. Stewart received many awards during the World War II, including the United States’ second highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross. He was assigned as Commander of the 61st Fighter Squadron from January to April 15, 1944, and then finally assigned to the VIII Fighter Command where he planned fighter support for the 8th Air Force bomber missions.
After the war, Lt. Col. Stewart married Jacqueline Caye Bossong (b. December 29, 1925 in Brooklyn, New York). He went into the Air Force Reserves and worked in the hosiery industry for a few years. During this time he also earned a Bachelor of Laws from Southwestern University in Los Angeles, California, and was accepted to the California State Bar in 1954. He returned to active duty in 1953 and continued to serve in the Air Force until his final retirement in 1966. This period included time spent flying North American F-86 Sabre jets in Korea.
Little is known of Lt. Col. Stewart's activities after he retired from the Armed Forces, though we do know that he spent some time living in California and Arizona. He died Sept. 3, 2004 in San Jose, California.

Historical Note: 56th Pursuit Group
Many items in this collection are associated with Lt. Col. Stewart's activities during the World War II. He spent much of his time as part of the 56th Pursuit Group, which was activated on January 15, 1941 at Savannah Army Air Base (Georgia). The group moved to the Charlotte Army Air Base (North Carolina) in May 1941, where they were equipped with a small number of Bell P-39 Airacobra and Curtiss P-40 Warhawk aircraft. The Group was then selected to train with the new Republic P-47B Thunderbolt, and they received the first aircraft in June 1942. The Group then moved to Bridgeport Municipal Airport (Connecticut) on July 7, 1942 and continued testing and training with early P-47s. With the Second World War ramping up, the group was assigned to overseas duty in December 1942. They landed in England in early 1943 and the pilots were organized into three fighter squadrons, and the 56th Pursuit Group was rebranded as the 56th Fighter Group. The three squadrons were:
The 56th Fighter Group sailed from New York on the RMS Queen Elizabeth on January 6, 1943. Their first station was at RAF Kings Cliffe in Cambridgeshire. The 56th was one of three P-47 groups in England, and the only one to previously train on the Thunderbolt, which had proved itself flyable but full of troublesome quirks and defects. The 56th ran many successful missions, and fought all over the European Theater during the war, including participation in Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge. The group was inactivated from its active war duty in October 1945, but has continued to serve in air defense and various active conflicts throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Its current incarnation is as the 56th Operations Support Squadron, which is stationed at Luke Air Force Base (Arizona).

Historical Note: American Fighter Aces Association
The American Fighter Aces Association (AFAA) was founded in 1960 to recognize the 1,450 combat pilots that received a special distinction of becoming an ace by destroying five (5) or more hostile aircraft in air-to-air combat. This includes aces in both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam. The AFAA lists its objectives and purposes as "to preserve and promote the distinguished heritage of the American combat fighter Ace; to preserve the spirit of loyalty, fellowship and responsibility that motivates Fighter Aces; to support the understanding of and demand for sound, progressive aerospace weapons systems which will guarantee the security and peace of the United States; to encourage and stimulate young men and women to enter the aerospace field; and to sponsor educational programs designed to increase and broaden public knowledge of aerospace technology." The AFAA sponsors an academic scholarship fund for youths who are primarily descendants of American Fighter Aces and fosters youth programs encouraging patriotism. Additional programs include award programs, such as the annual presentation of the Outstanding Cadet in Airmanship Award at the United States Air Force Academy and for outstanding fighter pilot "lead-in" trainee graduates from the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. The AFAA is affliated with The Museum of Flight (TMOF), the proud home of the AFAA.
