I’ve posted this image before but thought I’d actually tell you a little bit about Smoky... Smoky was a little Yorkshire Terrier who served alongside Corporal William “Bill” Wynne in the 5th Air Force, 26th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron. Smoky’s biggest feat came during the invasion of Luzon, in the Philippines. An airstrip had been captured, and new communications cables were needed. Normally, such a job could take days as the strip was dug up, cables were laid, and the airstrip was repaired. Smoky took care of the task in mere minutes, squeezing her way through a long, narrow culvert that ran under the taxiway. Sand created obstacles in some portions of the culvert, but she squeezed through, heading toward Wynne’s voice. “She was untrained for the task,” Wynne would later write, “but trusted me so much that she came through although she was lost from sight most of the way.” And fear not she went back to America with Wynne for a full happy life. Awesome. #wwii #armyarchives #vintagemilitary #worldwar2 #animalsinwar #whatalittlehero #vintagephotography #yorkie #dogoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUJtWYBRTz/?igshid=357pta8d94yk
