Join history author Clint Smith as he discusses his book "The Georgia Air National Guard."
The Georgia Air National Guard | The founder of the colony of Georgia, Gen. James Oglethorpe, served as the first Georgia Guardsman. He embodied the legend of the minuteman, a tradition carried forward by the Georgia Army National Guard. In May 1941, the first distinct aviation unit was created at Candler Field in Atlanta-the 128th Observation Squadron. In September 1947, a federal act officially created the Air National Guard. Its Georgia units in Marietta, Savannah, Warner Robins, and other locations have played a role in major conflicts around the world as well as post 9-11 assignments and security for the 1996 Olympics.
Clint Smith, a retired member of the Georgia Air National Guard, served at State Headquarters at Dobbins Air Reserve Base and the Clay National Guard Center in Marietta, Georgia. He had many responsibilities, including Command Historian. A board member of the Historical Society of the Georgia National Guard, Smith served eight years in the Georgia legislature where he led on military and security issues. The author of two novels, Smith has published columns on public policy and history.
