R.T. Lee
aka Richard T Lee

 Greetings, Eliav....I thoroughly enjoyed talking with you regarding the below story...As I indicated, we have NO RECORD OF R.T. LEE participating in the "Tuskegee Experience" [1941-1949] ...also, being stationed at Keesler does not make you a Tuskegee Airman!!! ....and Tuskegee Airmen NEVER flew in the China, Burma, India theatres of WWII!!!!

Please see attached Tuskegee Airmen press kit..and as I indicated, please see the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. (TAI) national website at: www.tuskegeeairmen.org (click on "History")

Airmen TALES OF THE Tuskegee
By Eliav Appelbaum eliav@theacorn.com
 
R.T. Lee had thought he was cruising at an altitude of 27,000 feet, with the gnarled Himalaya Mountains below him.
When he broke through the clouds in his C-46 cargo plane, Lee's jaw dropped, he said.
"Looming in front of me was a mountain," Lee said, adding that he had actually been flying at 24,000 feet.
The Tuskegee Airman risked his life flying missions for his country in World War II—like that one over "the hump." It was just one of severral stories the longtime Camarillo resident shared with a crowd of about 200 people at the Naval Base Ventura County at Point Mugu last Thursday. .....
Please see below story about alleged Tuskegee Airman R. T. Lee....As you know, this man continues to show up at bases telling folks that he is a Tuskegee Airman.. we have checked our records and show NO entry for him in the Ted Johnson database...I also understand that he showed up at the Grand Opening of the Oxnard Clinic  on April 7, 2009 telling everyone he was a Tuskegee Airman...Thank God that you have him listed as a wannabe.. It's time to put a stop to this man... Thanks...RB

 Pioneer Tuskegee Airmen talk racism, patriotism at Naval Base

He was 18, a fresh recruit waiting for a ride to the training camp where he would become one of the 1,000 black pilots who would eventually be known as the Tuskegee Airmen. But before R.T. Lee got his first lesson in the cockpit, he was schooled in our country’s wartime racism.

He made the mistake of ordering a sandwich in a whites-only café in rural Mississippi and wound up getting arrested.

Lee, now 83 and living in Camarillo, told the anecdote on Thursday during a celebration of Black History Month at Naval Base Ventura County.....
