Capt Smith in 9th AF
The eyes of Capt. William E. Smith (now Maj.) 485 Central Ave., Hapeville, Ga., are two of the reasons contributing to his record as the most efficient bombardier in the 9th AF. Capt. Smith has served as lead bombardier of his Martin B-26 group 61 times out of his total of more than 88 missions, and has personally dropped more than 300,000 pounds of the more than 4,000 tons of bombs loosed on German targets at his direction.
