My wife’s Uncle, Fred Barley was KIA flying Dallas Doll. I have the After Action reports but no first hand story. I would be extremely interested in obtaining a copy of your grandfather’s account of the story. I am also looking for the nose art of Dallas Doll, pictures of this aircraft seem very hard to locate. Many thanks, looking forward to your response.
