During World War II, he painted the Kiska operations in the Aleutian Islands (1943) and later served as artist war correspondent for Life Magazine on the European battlefronts. From that time he painted mainly in Portugal and France and summered in Manchester, Vermont. In 1977 he married Mrs. Ormond Valentine Gould. In 1984 Pleissner's studio was reconstructed at the Museum in Shelbourne, Vermont.
