There are no known photos of the airplane he was shot down in, but there is a Missing Air Crew Report (MACR) #5304 (that tells you something right there) that you could probably get a copy of from the Air Force History Office (AFHO).

My grandmother received a photograph of my grandfathers/your fathers crew in some sort of publication from the 401st.  Email me and I will send it to you.
