| Thanks to a broken leg during flight school, Lee gained additional time flying trainers before he was posted to France. In November 1917, during low level bombing and strafing attacks, he was shot down three times by ground fire. During his eight months at the front, Lee accumulated 222 hours of flight time during 118 patrols. In that time, he was engaged in combat 56 times. An Air Vice-Marshal and author of three books, he retired from the Royal Air Force in 1946. |
