Does anyone have a photo of Kickapoo crew? Cassius Clay Brandenburg was my uncle. Would love to have a photo of plane with crew.

Some amazing footage of this B-17 124447 in the brilliant documentary “The Cold Blue” when the veteran is talking about forming up into groups. She comes really close to the neighbouring B-17 and the bombardier is looking nervously out of the plexiglass nose. It may even be your uncle??? If you freeze frame you can read “Kickapoo” on the nose-art. Not what you requested but some amazing footage. You’ve most likely watched that documentary I suspect?
