Message |- | '''TimDolan04''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/NoAvatar.gif' /></div><br/>9/12/2017 12:06:07 AM | Hello is My name is Timothy William Dolan and my great uncle is Captain William W Dolan(who died in 1984). I have done quite a lot of research on him and i contacted my cousin (his son) and he gave me his hat, his bombardier wings, and a copy of his diary. and he also let me try on his a-2 jacket that he wore while flying as a bombardier. I wrote this for 2 reasons, 1 to get everyone's input on my progress so far, and 2 i hope to contact some of his old crew members. so thanks everyone for their time that they gave to read this. have a wonderful day sincerely Timothy <br/><br/><br/> |- | '''Paul Bellamy''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/Paul Bellamy.jpg' /></div><br/>9/13/2017 9:03:19 PM | Welcome aboard Tim. <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/> |- | '''TimDolan04''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/NoAvatar.gif' /></div><br/>9/14/2017 3:43:22 AM | Thank you so much <br/><br/><br/> |- | '''donaldbyers''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/donaldbyers.jpg' /></div><br/>9/20/2017 11:00:12 PM | Welcome aboard Tim,<br/> <br/> As Historian am very interested in a copy of the Diary and a HD photo of the A2 Jacket and if it has ART on the back and front. Second if you take a look at one of the WIKI pages such as ED Dana and see what we are looking for I would like to have similar info on Capt. Dolan's WIKI page as well. I can do this for you if you put in proper sequence.<br/> <br/> Am sorry it has taken me awhile to get back with you but was in Hospital and Rehab Center with a broken femur.<br/> <br/> Don Byers<br/> Group Historian <br/><br/>Sgt.
