But saying that i thought he served his country in a civilian roll in the pacific in some combat missions.

CAL’s biggest wartime contribution may have been flying P-38s with USAAF units in the Pacific and advising them how to stretch their range through various mixture/throttle/prop settings.

BTW: FDR wouldn’t let him take a more active wartime role following his isolationist stance in the “America First” group…and an disagreement over airmail contracts. In 1934, sensing a “big-business” scandal that wasn’t really there, he cancelled existing contracts with reasonably well equipped and experienced commercial operators and handed it to an unprepared and ill-equipped USAAC. Several USAAC planes were lost and pilots killed, while at the same time nearly wrecking an industry CAL had worked a long time to establish. CAL was openly critical of the measure.
FDR had a long memory and such there was no love between them. He would have been happy for CAL to stay at home during the war.
