These are the tail numbers of the planes my Dad flew in and I am looking for photos of both in the air or on the ground.

The first is the D Day Dottie: 42-102947

This one is the plane they were shot down in: 44-6129
(I hope I have the numbers right in this one)

There are family issues here that may prevent her from answering anytime soon. Her Dad was a Ball Turret Gunner on 2nd Lt W.J. McKeon crew.

I would love to see copies of these pictures if possible...for some reason I missed this post. I have been on and off line taking care of my husband who recently passed away and I am trying to get back online as I can. Your help with photos of either plane would be so nice.
