This is my father‘s plane. He was a tail gunner I’d like to obtain a copy of that photo in the Michael Ripley collection. It would mean a great deal to my family. My father is no longer with us so if anybody has a way of me obtaining a copy or if anybody has nose art of the Kleen sweep that was on the plane, I would greatly appreciate your time.
