Robert (Bob) Gray was probably known as a "Hot Shot" pilot. He was born in Killeen, Texas in 1919 and entered the Army Air Corps after attending college for two years. Because of his flying ability, he was chosen by then LTC Doolittle, to be part of a top-secret mission, to bomb Japan in retaliation for the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This sculpture's face depicts the eager anticipation of the upcoming mission as Robert Gray checks his watch for takeoff time on 18 April 1942.

"Captain Robert Gray" sculpture was commissioned by the City of Killeen for the newly constructed Killeen Regional Airport. Robert Gray was a native of Killeen and flew with the historic Doolittle bombing raid over Japan in 1942.
