George "Blind Bomber" Glamack was an American basketball player. He was born to Serb immigrants on June 7, 1919 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and eventually moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The 6'7" giant, during that era, attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was nicknamed the "Blind Bomber" because of scoring prowess despite having very poor vision.

Glamack's remarkable shooting technique enabled him to be named the NCAA's National Player of the Year on two occasions (1940, 1941). His legendary #20 was retired by UNC. Glamack had a shortlived but, modest professional career.

He died on March 10, 1987.
