Oh, yes! Please do share the photo and the names of the crew of the Trade Winds! And any other information you may have regarding their missions. I do believe my father was one of crew! It would be so much appreciated! Thank you!

If the photo you have of Trade Winds is from missions in Sept 1944 or later, it’s possible my uncle, who was the radio operator on 43-37512 several times, is in the photo.

My Grandfather James T McNeill II was the pilot of a B-17 named Trade Winds. If it’s the same plane, I’d love to see a photo
