Looking for info on my uncle Ray Smith - 12/20/2007 07:51:20 PM
Hello,

I'm looking for information or anyone who knew my uncle who sadly passed away a few months ago.  His name was Raymond B Smith Jr..   He was  a first Lieutenant flying B-29s in the 870th.  I know he recived the DFC but I'm not exactly what for (he had 270+ holes in his plane once).   He didn't talk much about it to anyone except me since I'm a pilot.  I know he landed on Iwo several times while returning from missions once with three engines out ( he once told me "Iwo saved my a$$ several times")  I'm particualry interested in finding out what B-29 he flew and the tail numbers.

Thank you,

Bruce Smith
