Smith, a former aviation engineer, created 2,000 paintings and drawings over five decades. His artwork has been displayed at the Pentagon; the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Fla.; the U.S. Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio; on numerous military bases and on thousands of Navy recruitment posters. Robert Grant Smith studied at Polytechnic College of Engineering in Oakland and was hired in 1936 as a blueprint trimmer at Douglas Aircraft. He eventually became an engineer and helped design Navy tactical planes, including the SBD Dauntless, AD Skyraider and the A-4D Skyhawk. Aeronautics pioneer Jack Northrup noticed a gun turret drawing that Smith made in his spare time and soon had Smith creating other drawings that were used in marketing and promotion of Douglas' military and commercial aircraft. Smith was barred from enlisting in World War II because his art work was deemed vital to the war effort. Three decades later, he toured Vietnam as a sketch artist with river patrols along the Mekong Delta and carrier operations at the Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin.
