Personal notes from son Joey; 3 June, 2012 My dad, Oscar J. Kaney, flew 51 missions in 1943-1944 as a B-25 engineer/gunner with the 321st 446th. His crew flew the Flamingo 42-32429 from the US to North Africa in 1943. He has notes from each of his 51 missions.

6 June, 2012; Thanks for getting back to me. All this 446th material is really helping Daddy get thru his 91st year. Adding Daddy to this page would be wonderful. Should I scan all his hand written notes and his pictures and send them to you? Please advise as to the most efficient way to get him included on your website and I'll do my best. Thanks, Joey
