My dad, Ned Smith, was a member of the 414th Bomb Squadron which was known as "Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer". There was also a song written about the group. The All American B-17 almost had it's entire tail section cut off but made it back. I put this slide show together with some of my dad's pictures and some I got off the internet.
