: Albert Lecce. If anyone out there nows where I might
: check for a roster of pilots or historical sources, any
: associations of retired pilots I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions.
: Thank you,
: Mario A. Lecce
If your relative was not one of the original Flying Tigers (the AVG or American Volunteer Group) he might have been in one of the many units of the Army Air Force units in China during the rest of the war that were given the same nick name. You might check this site for them:

Good luck.
