Bob Barker was trained as a fighter pilot for the Navy during WWII. He completed his training (which included air craft carrier landing training in the Great Lakes), and was in a fighter pool ready to deploy, but the war ended before he was assigned to a seagoing squad.

Other interesting Barker Trivia… he is 1/8 Native American on his mother’s side.

Lastly, he is supposed to make a guest appearance on The Price is Right today (4/16/09). If anyone reads this before the show comes on, watch it and comment on it for us.
