Roger Edward Williams' WWII Photos
My grandfather, SGT. Roger Edward Williams was a tailgunner on the Spirit of Springfield (MASS). All of these photos with the exception of the photo of himself were taken by him in Japan during WWII. Until a few years ago know one knew these photos existed and were saved from the trash pile by my aunt Denise Williams. Many of these photos were of bombing raids, one of the 29th bomber squadron, and one of Roger on guard duty.
The glass which these photos were taken was the first bullet proof glass every put on an airplane. This glass saved my grandfather's life and is in the archives of The Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
