James Stewart was based in Norfolk during WW 11. Norfolk had 37 Airfields at this time.

Tibenham and Buckenham still have a lot of the infrastructure left, (I have flown out of both) Hethel now home to Lotus Cars, use the refurbished hangers as part of the factory, and parts of the main runway and perimeter track, as their test track. It's only about a mile an a half away as the crow fly, and is quite audible when they are having a bit of fun.

I got the below off the internet


James Stewart, the film actor, was 703rd Squadron Commander with the 445th when it arrived at Tibenham. He flew 10 operational missions with the 445th Bomb Group before being transferred to the 453rd Bomb Group at RAF Old Buckenham in March, 1944[8]


James "Jimmy" Stewart, the Hollywood movie star, was Group Operations Officer at Old Buckenham during the spring of 1944. Stewart's fellow actor Walter Matthau was also based at Old Buckenham.


Film actor James Stewart was among those who served at Hethel. He moved there in 1944 and was promoted colonel and chief of staff of the Second Combat Wing.
