Mr. Robert C. Becker, Greenville, South Carolina

The Boy Scout Who Helped Win The War
Come hear Mr. Becker, who as a 13 year old Boy Scout did many thing to help out during WWII.  After Becker saw a wall poster of American planes flying over a battlefield and getting shot at my enemy guns below.  He read a brochure from the National Invertors Council asking citizens to come up with ideas that might help to end the war. Come hear about Becker's submission to the contest and learn about his "dummy" of an idea that turned out to help save thousands of Allied live. The story of the "dummies" that were throw out of airplanes to confuse and overwhelm the enemy.
