Knew that before from a previous post in a different thread:

I mean I would have preferred an ongoing maybe a JSA book but I'll take a Stargirl and the seven soldiers of victory one-shot for now, could be fun. I like Geoff Johns run and the tv show so I am in.

But maybe we'll get some flashbacks with Lee? (One can hope . . . )

That’d be nice.
Or maybe he can be the mysterious eighth Soldier!
Nah, we couldn’t be that lucky.

Well, at least we saw Lee in one panel of Infinite Frontier #0:

I think the DC Comics Presents back-up has pretty much turned Lee Travis into DC's version of Captain Mar-Vell as regards the death story's impact.

My fantasy Lee Travis return would have had him showing up at the end of Detective 1027 and telling Bruce he wanted his book back.

the little boy Travis saved should have grown up to be the new Crimson Avenger. He would wear the red uniform because that is what he remembers. He would fit nicely into the acrobatic fighters niche (like the original Star Spangled Kid) . I could see him using his wits to fight rather than the guns. I would go a little further and say he would have above average, but not super, strength.

Earth 2: SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, “Truel” #3 (of 7)
Plotter: CaptCleghorn
Writer: HOWARD CHAYKIN
Art: NICK PITARRA
The Crimson and Wing: “Roswell”
July 1947. Is there intelligent life out in space? Silly question! Of course there is, We’ve seen examples over the last few years so we know they exist and they are very aware of us. But when initial reports of crashed saucer in some place called Roswell, NM arise and are quickly glossed over by military intelligence, it attracts the attention of the Seven Soldiers, Geroi Budushchego, and the Kinder Von hitler. Alexei Luthor, highly placed operative with the Soviet Intelligence Services and trusted ally of Josef Stalin think a nation that has already used atomic weapons in war should not be allowed access to superior alien technology. Paula Von Gunther, leader of the KVh agrees with Luthor.
The Crimson and his sidekick Wing are tasked with protecting America’s interest in this restricted technology. But does the usually loyal Wing have his doubts? Does Lee Travis stand alone in fighting FOR America?
