Lee was a B-17 gunner and radio operator. He served 52 missions and preserved his diary summarizing the experiences. Key pages of Lee’s diary are described in this article: CATCH 52

HERE is video of Lee talking about his WW II experiences to the Confirmation Class at his church (Mt. Washington Presbyterian)

HERE are some key pages of Lee’s diary from 1944, lovingly transcribed by son Chris [NOTE: his 52 missions happened in about 5 1/2 months – an average of a mission about every 3rd day (with some of them being doubles and some not even counting!) ]
