USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Bailey, Raymond

Service Dates: 1945 to ?

Rank/Duty Assigned: Aircraft Electrician

My name is Jim Hardin, a retiring AT1 in the USNR. I was not ship’s company, but my squadron made several training “cruises” lasting from 1 day to 2 weeks each betwen 1983 and 1986 while I was active duty. My wife was able to join me on a day out on one trip.

I am trying to find information about my Grnadfather Raymond Bailey, who was either assigned or whose squadron was assigned to the Lexington toward the end of WWII after the repairs from the Kamikazi attack. Any info would be appreciated.
