Lee
Crew
The Lee crew probably came in during March of
1944 as one of the first replacement crews. Lee flew his first combat mission in
April, and from then on flew sporadically until July, when he was taken off
flight duty for medical reasons. His crew finished out their tours with Bruton,
Moser and other pilots of the Group. As a
crew they flew only 3 missions, but Lee managed seven, flying as CP with Mead,
St.Clair and others.
