I am the grandson of Lt Col William F Smith Jr, and am looking for any information people may have on him. I am trying to find out more about his military career and life. What kind of officer and pilot was he? I have researched this website and found great amounts of information through the help of Mr. Bass. I am looking for personal stories(even second hand), memories, pictures,etc. I am also interested in hearing from the families of the men he served with. If anyone has anything to offer please let me know.

I waa in the 750th when Lt. Col. Smith was the Squadron Commander.
I flew two missions with him...(Not in the same plane)...mission # 107 August 11 to Brest and mission # 116 August 30 to Kiel Germany.
I would guess that you have already seen the picture of him on the 750th Squadrion Home page and read the short statement about him. And yes, he was quite the character
