Curious if anyone out there knew anything about the incident or what became of Smith. My Dads foot locker was broken into on shipment of his body and possesions back to the states. His wedding ring,wallet,flight jacket and other things were stolen. Know its been a long time, but someone may still remember something about my dad and his killing.

Going to find out more of his time there.He eneded up in the Corp for 30 yrs.I think this was his unit there.I know, that one day, we were watching the movie Flight of the Phoenix many years ago, and in one scene inside the aircraft,he mentioned he saw his old unit number in there.So maybe one of his old planes were used in the making of the film.
