My uncle, Tom Dinneen was the BTG on this flight. He is an American hero. It’s men like him that kept this country free and allow us to enjoy the freedoms that we have today. I just want to thank all of the contributors to this website for their efforts. I just wish that my family had more information about his war experiences and this flight, but I am working on that. Thank you all and God Bless America.
