[post_page_title]John Coltrane[/post_page_title]
Another celebrity who narrowly avoided having to fight in World War II was the jazz saxophonist and composer, John Coltrane. Coltrane was seeking to avoid the draft and he enlisted in the Navy on August 6th, 1945, the same day that the bombs were dropped over Japan. He was stationed at Pearl Harbor, however, by that time the military was downsizing and Coltrane spent most of his time playing in a swing band on the base.
