Blair Smith

My Brother, Your Father Blair Smith

We have all heard the stories from WWII how our boys, as prisoners of war, made escapes from the German prison camps, how our pilots crash landed their bombers in China after a bombing run over Japan, or how the Russians burned their fields and crops to stop the German invasion at the gates of Moscow; but how about the families that protected America at home, made the tanks, airplanes, ships, submarines and bombs for our troops that were fighting on foreign soil? Who protected the good old USA soil and what was it like to grow up in a country that dedicated 100% of it's resources to Victory? The book that you are about to read is a true story of  the Clayton Smith family that lived in a small railroad community located in the western mountains of Virginia during this unique period of history. Their struggles, their sorrows, their joy and the way that it was as seen through the eyes of their middle son, Blair. The book also takes you through the Korean War period, life in a military school, life on a diesel submarine, life in college and finally the families of the three Smith sons and the decisions they made that would forever change their lives!
