Lady Yank Convicted of Desertion in Air Force Court Martial
Delbert E. Hill, a 35 year old Philadelphia native, was convicted by an Air Force court martial of desertion for a four year absence after disguising as Donna Delbert a female fire eater on the English music hall stage. He was sentenced to two years hard labor and a bad conduct discharge. Hill claimed he intended to return to the Air Force and that he was merely absent without leave. Prosecutors argued the absence began in July 1945 to avoid hazardous duty. Hill, who wore a shoulder length hairdo and plucked eyebrows, had performed as a female impersonator in a tent theater with the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus beginning in 1935. He spoke with newsmen during a recess, saying he hoped to return to the United States and resume stage work.
