Cadet Billie Lee appears handsome in his uniform in these photos
provided by his son Jerry Lee and granddaughter Lisa Velte.
On 2/5/52 Lt. Lee was one of two trainee
pilots on Boeing B-29A 44-61867 as it approached March AFB during a two
engine out simulation.
Tragically the B-29A crashed several miles
short of the runway killing Lt. Lee, IP C. W. Catchel, and T/Sgt W.S.
Bradley. Eight other crewmen suffered serious injuries, and the B-29A
was completely destroyed.
