Lennie Lee: his F-4 was shot down over Vietnam in 1967. My father flew with him on the Bon Homme Richard, said he was one of the best pilots ever. Assigned the most dangerous missions because he was not only skilled but brave and honourable.
Can’t find him in the military archive. Here he is.

Also: Lennie Lee. My father flew off a carrier in Vietnam with him in 1965 and said he was one of the best fighter pilots ever, and a great man. His F-4 was shot down in 1967, a great loss.
In the course of writing today I couldn’t find his entry in the military archive. I have no words

I looked him up today in the course of writing. I was saddened to find that his F-4 had been shot down in 1967.
And enraged to find that his record was missing from the usual archive.
