My father, Joseph Willard "Dee" died of a) hemorrhage, b) right pneumonectomy c) carcinoma right lung, according to his death certificate. My mother told me he had lung cancer and died as a result of the surgery.

On his service application, my father listed his name as Willard NMI
Campbell. His death certificate reads Willard Joseph Campbell. I
always understood it as Willard Joseph. I mention this because your
research refers to him as Joseph Willard.

Jean E., my father's first wife, was Jean Adams, according to his
service record. They were married before May 43 and had 1 child by
that time, according to his service record. On July 30, 43, he listed
Jean's address as 1270 N. 47th Street, Milwaukee.

His service record also says he attended Wauwatosa High School in
Milwaukee. Under his employment record, he listed Douglas Aircraft in
Santa Monica from 6/41 to 9/42. He gives no details. I found that
interesting given that Hank Marino opened his bowling alley in Santa
Monica in 1940. Douglas Aircraft was, indeed, in full swing during
that time in Santa Monica supporting the war effort

Some divorce dates for my dad "Dee":
Jean: 1947
Thekla (also spelled Teckla): She filed for divorce three times before it was finalized: 4/27/53 (reconciled 10/02/53), 5/01/55 (reconciled by December), and finally 1/07/59. The divorce was granted on 5/21/59 (my father didn't show up).
Mary Janice Varney: 4/08/64
My mother, Mary Janice Varney, remarried Roland Harry Haffner in 2/12/66 and in 1/06/68, both in Las Vegas. The first marriage wasn't legal as he was still married to another woman.
BTW, in the divorce papers, he is called Willard J. Campbell.

Here's something else I thought was interesting. I may have found another marriage for my dad.
I was doing a newspaper search and came across an article in the Waukesha Daily Freeman dated 9/08/49. It said that a woman named Pearl Campbell of Waukesha was granted an annulment from Willard Campbell of Milwaukee. It said he married her before having been divorced for a full year as required by law. Apparently he was divorced on 3/30/46 and married Pearl in July.
I got the divorce date from Jean from my mom's divorce petition. She had a specific date for his second divorce, but only a year for the first. It's possible she was guessing, and was off by a few months.
I don't know if this would have made six marriages, or if my mom was his fourth.

1930 Census:
Milwaukee, ED 40-27 page 12a, listed age 6 born WI, wi th mother Florence age 28.

Military Service:
WWII;
It was WWII. I have what's left of his service record. Much of it was destroyed by fire. He was in the regular army from 9/23/42 until his honorable discharge 6/29/43, when he was discharged to accept a commission in the Army. He went through pilot training. in Blytheville Ark, Greenwood, Miss., Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Maxwell field in Montgomery, Ala. He was married to Jean at the time and already had a child. I'm afraid it didn't end well. He was AWOL for 37 days and court martialed at Drew Field in Tampa Fla., 2/15/45 and sentence to three years hard labor at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
