I am Ian Douglas Smith, April 8, 1919, Selukwe, Rhodesia.
I was Rhodesia's first native-born prime minister from 1964 to 1979.
I served as a fighter pilot during WWII and was shot down in Italy in 1943.
I was Rhodesia's youngest elected MP, being elected in 1953 at age 28.
I was an ardent advocate of white rule and led Rhodesia's independence in 1965.
I was unfortunately ousted of power in 1979 to push majority rule.
I am a critic of Zimbabwe and the socialist system of the country.
