Albert Wong was born February 2nd 1905 (from a Chinese marriage certificate). He died June 3rd 1959 in Brawley, California (Imperial County). I will have to get my wife’s help with the bio, the dates and details are a bit sketchy but I will give you what we know/think. Mike and Tina (granddaughter of Al Wong) Watchman  Sign says something about "radio"? left to right Al Wong aka Albert Lee, Emil "Scotty" Scott and Unknown 1938 or 1939 (Courtesy of Tom Moore) The following pictures are from Al Wong's granddaughter: This one is all about airplanes This one has people not identified as army related This one has any picture that was not of a person or airplane This one has any pictures that I could identify as army people Here is the marriage certificate. It was reprinted later, so it is not the original. This was also his second wife. His first wife passed away a couple of years before, his family from his first wife live in British Columbia. My wife (Tina) was quite close to them growing up.  The following translation is from a research friend in Hong Kong, Wong How Man It says, on top, Toi Yip (meaning Tai Shan in today's spelling, and where most overseas Chinese in the West Coast came from, a village in Guangdong of southern China); Second line (always read from right to left) is Sha Mu Shan, some local mountains of Tai Shan I suppose; Third line is (again read right to left) Huang Cheng Hsung (in Pinyin), or likely in his own dialect of Cantonese, Wong Sing Fung.
