Sing Yung Yee was born on November 5, 1912 in Canton, China according to his World War II draft card. The California and Social Security Death Indexes had the birth date December 24, 1911. Passenger lists said his birthplace was “Toishan, China”.
Yee’s Chinese Exclusion Act case file, 125, 483 in Box 374, at the National Archives in New York, said his first entry into the United States was at Boston, Massachusetts in 1921. That passenger list has not yet been found at Ancestry.com.
Sometime in 1924 Yee and his father, Sue Gwoon Yee, traveled to China where his mother, Tam Shee, lived at “Wai Sui, Sun Ning”.
Father and son were aboard the steam ship Empress Russia when it departed Hong Kong on September 16, 1926. They arrived at Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on October 4, 1926. Their final destination was to Yee Siu Fun, Yee’s brother, at 14 Hudson Street in Boston Chinatown. Yee’s Chinese Exclusion Act case file number was 2500/3145.
In 1928 Yee returned to China. Yee was aboard the steam ship Empress of Russia when it departed Hong Kong on June 16, 1929. He had married Chan Shee and they lived at “Kim Sue, Toishan, China”. Yee arrived at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on July 13, 1929. His final destination was to his cousin, Wo Sing, at 14 Hudson Street in Boston.

He traveled by train to Montreal and entered the United States at Malone, New York on September 27, 1937.
At some point Yee enrolled at Indiana Technical College in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (The 1944–1945 catalog has a Radio Laboratory Practice course description.) The local paper, News-Sentinel, March 11, 1939, published photographs of Chinese students, including Yee, and their laboratories. The caption said
Yee was in San Francisco when he sailed, on May 7, 1941, to China. Aboard the steam ship President Pierce Yee departed Hong Kong on July 8, 1941 and arrived at San Francisco on July 29, 1941. His final destination was to his brother, Schue Foon Yee, at 87 East Broadway in New York. Yee’s San Francisco Chinese Exclusion Act case file number was 12017/53710.

Sing Yung Yee, an erudite student who has delved into many branches of natural science, established contacts with many other amateur operators with the transmitter which he has constructed.Yee has not been found in the 1940 census.
Yee was in San Francisco when he sailed, on May 7, 1941, to China. Aboard the steam ship President Pierce Yee departed Hong Kong on July 8, 1941 and arrived at San Francisco on July 29, 1941.

Yee’s civilian work for the military was reported in the Army Navy Journal, October 10, 1942.
Radio Men to ChinaYee and the radio group were mentioned in the 1945 book, Old Leatherface of the Flying Tigers.
A letter, signed by the entire group, addressed to Col. A. W. Marriner, AC, Director of Communications, AAF, asked that Sing Yung-Yee be designated as their chief, since he was the one who brought them together. Maj. David T. Li, of the Chinese AAIF, confirmed Yee’s qualifications. Additional recommendations were received from A.T. Keene, President of Indiana Technical College, where Yee made excellent grades; Lt. S. H. Hartley, of the RCA Signal Corps Training School at Philadelphia, and others who were acquainted with his work. Yee was placed in charge of the group for the duration of the trip.
Others in the group are; Sun You Lew, Allen Wing Yuu, Sheuck Lee, Lee Lin Haw, Bon Pong Dong, Bock Seow Gee, Chin Wing Want, William H. H. Lee, Gee Chin, Bing Lee, Tom Suey Lin, Ngon P. Fong and Hom Hay.
In October 1942 the War Department issued an announcement that nineteen Chinese-Americans would be sent to Chungking to report for duty as technicians. All could speak Chinese and English. All had trained at the Army Air Forces Technical School, and on graduation had signed a letter to their commanding officer asking to be sent to China to serve under General Chennault, who had done so much for the nation of their ancestry. They asked also that a certain Sing Yung Yee whom they all respected be designated chief of the group since it was his idea that they volunteer. The War Department communicated the request to Chennault who immediately accepted. So the nineteen young men who had left laundries, restaurants and schools arrived in Chungking, a link between East and West, to do technical work for Chennault’s air force. On their arrival they were paraded before the General, who gave them an address of welcome and congratulated them on their enterprise and their love of China.Yee enlisted in the Army on November 12, 1942.
In Chinese America: History and Perspectives 1993, Peter Phan explained Yee’s role in forming the 1157th Signal Company Service Group and the 407th Air Service Squadron. Kevin Scott Wong, in his 2005 book, Americans First: Chinese Americans and the Second World War, described Yee’s involvement with the two groups.
In the Shadow of the Tiger mentioned Yee, as Lieutenant Sing Y. Lee, on page 12. Reproduced on page 13 was Yee’s May 13, 1943 letter to James Gimbo Jay.
The Army Navy Journal, September 16, 1944, said
Signal Corps—Yee was discharged on March 24, 1947.
... The Legion of Merit has been awarded to 1st Lt. Sing Yung Yee, SC, for services in organizing Signal Corps units composed of Chinese-speaking Americans for duty with the American Army in China, while assigned as Base Signal Officer with the Air Service Command at Patterson Field, Ohio. Lieutenant Yee, a native of China, is a graduate of the National University of Canton and of the RCA Institute.
Yee is on the U.S. Army Veterans Final Registered List of the Chinese American World War II Veterans Recognition Project. Yee was mentioned in Sampan, June 4, 1993; Chinese American Forum, April 2013; the Daily Journal, May 5, 2022; Fighting for the Dream: Voices of Chinese American Veterans from World War II to Afghanistan (2014) and the Society of Oral History on Modern China.
In 1956 Yee traveled to Hong Kong and later to Caracas, Venezuela.
Yee passed away on July 25, 1987 in San Francisco according to the California Death Index at Ancestry.com.
