This mustache ruled Hollywood for twenty years, and
even flew in five B-17 combat missions over Europe, which was something it didn't have to do.
After a mission on which one crewman was killed and two were injured, and
Clark Gable was nearly killed, MGM pressured the Army to transfer him back to the U.S. When D-Day came and went without orders taking him away from the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Hollywood (where he worked on instructional films), he was granted a discharge.
The mustache then went back to ruling Hollywood.

So neat, so tidy. I would say the most gentle 'stache so far! Great addition to the league of extrodinary gentleman's upper lip adornment.
