After surviving three airplane crashes, he received two Distinguished Flying Crosses, one for sinking an enemy destroyer and one for disabling an enemy cruiser. Dupree was decorated with several other commendations and medals for his heroic service. After returning from the War, he became a farmer on St. Mary's Road in Hillsborough.
