Gunsmoke (aerial gunnery competition)

Gunsmoke (officially known as the Air Force Worldwide Gunnery Competition) was a biennial air-to-surface gunnery meet for conventional weapons, hosted by the United States Air Force. It was held beginning in 1949,[1][2] excepting a few years. It has been succeeded by Hawgsmoke. The competition occurred during odd-numbered years, alternating with the William Tell competition, which occurs during even-numbered years.
