Leslie was privately educated at Haberdashers School and then attended Hornsey Art School, and was a commercial artist before he enlisted.

Leslie and the flight engineer Frank Bramall were killed instantly, and three other crew succumbed to their injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pilot, Leslie Israel <br>F\/E, Frank Bramall, 1684804. <br>Nav, Thomas Nicoll, 161716, injured, died 19 Nov 43. <br>A\/B, James Thomas McCormick Kean, 162520, injured, died 28 Nov 43. <br>Nav, Peter John Elldred, 117133.
