Dan McKinney was my husband’s uncle. My stepdaughter was in photography class and needed old negatives for a class project. I had some that were her grandparents and on there was a photo with Dan in front of this plane and one with the whole crew in front of the plane. Nobody had any idea what was on the negatives. Priceless photos for the McKinney family.

Thank you, can you sent me the photo for this website? I could not sent you a email, because email is wrong.

Amazing picture. My Dad is second to the left, Guy Woodward, Tech Sergeant, top turret gunner, 3rd bomb division. I’m currently looking at Distinguished Flying Cross Metal that came with a summary of mission information/etc.
Please let me know if you have additional information or additional photos. I would love to see my Dad in other photos.

Are you referring to the picture on this page if so my uncle was the Ball turret on the crew Archie Goodwin. He is the one on the far right.
