After graduating from the Tuskegee Airmen Program at Moton Field, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on April 29, 1943. Smith was soon assigned to the U.S. Army Air Corps 99th Fighter Squadron, based, at that time, on Campodichino airfield outside Naples, Italy, from 1943 – 1944).

After flying numerous other combat missions, Smith was shot down over Poland, taken to a Prisoner of War camp in Germany, and remained there for almost 18 months, until the war ended. For his service and valor, he received the Air Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Joint Services Medal, the Purple Heart, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three Bronze Stars, and the WWII Victory Medal. He retired from the Air Force in 1968 after twenty-five years of service. In 1969 he was confirmed as a Foreign Service Officer and served at U.S. embassies in the Ivory Coast and Cambodia as Administrative Officer and Deputy Chief of Mission.

- Description
- A scrapbook filled with newspaper and magazine clippings related to the missions and lives of the Tuskegee Airmen between 1943 and 1945. The scrapbook was compiled by Daisy Crockett, the wife of airman Woodrow W. Crockett. The pages of the scrapbook are bound between two faux leather covers with an open binding on the left side. The cover is red with tooled designs and features two small children dressed in Dutch clothing colored in gold. Below the figures the words [Scrap Book] appear in relief.
- The scrapbook is approximately 80 sheets of paper with all but the last 3-4 pages filled with hundreds of clippings, predominantly from magazines and newspapers. The source of most of the clippings is not identified, but those that are identified come from a number of publications, including the Hawk's Cry (a semi-monthly newsletter from the Tuskegee Institute), Yank Army Weekly, Selfridge Field News, Arkansas Survey-Journal, Pittsburgh Courier, Arkansas Democrat, Chicago Defender, and the Afro-American. Many of the articles from the Pittsburgh Courier were written by Edgar T. Rouzeau and feature the double VV for victory campaign. The articles focus almost exclusively on the Tuskegee Airmen and their service. Benjamin O. Davis, Charles B. Hall, Capt. George Spencer Roberts, Othal Dickson, Charles H. Debow, Col. Robert Selway, Bishop John A. Gregg, the 99th Pursuit Squadron, the 100th fighter squadron, the 332d Fighter Group, the 553d Fighter-Bomber Squadron, and the 477th Bombardment Group are prominently featured.
