Abstract:

During the 1940s, Greenville became a \"liberty town\" for many soldiers. One of the soldiers, Frank Lang, flew a dive-bomber under the Greene Street Bridge in 1943. Buddy Waters and Charles Dudley recall riding in a car over the bridge at the time that the plane was about to fly under them.
