Hi
I have been trying to figure out what my grandfathers' job was on the WW2 AC Lexington. I know from talking to my grandmother that he was a Lieutenant and that his job (description) was reading the mail of the crew and censoring it. But this is basically it, she said he had to read it to remove sensitive information and didn't know anything about the process like whose mail exactly was read and how the censoring was carried out. I am hoping someone on here can identify what his job 'title' was or the department he might have worked in and if I'm lucky can shed some light on the actual process the military/navy would have for going through letters and filtering out sensitive information.
Thanks
