Since 2007 we adopted the grave of Joe Kinney at the American Cemetery in Margraten the Netherlands. Do you perhaps have available a photo of the crew of B17 42 29796? The only photo available until now is from his graduation at high school. I assume there are more photo’s available of the crew in Kimbolton. Awaiting comment. Thanks, Harry Wouters
