Hi Tim in response to your post:
Yippee Joe
Hey Treize,
Don't know if you're still following this topic but thought I'd give you a heads up. We have looked through existing photos and have determined that Yippee Joe was not 42-106911 as previously thought, but was in fact 42-103332, a kite that later went to 336 and was lost on D-Day.
We are not sure if and when McKennon ever flew this a/c, as he was off flight duty awaiting leave for the majority of it's time in 335.
If you're interested in more of the details let me know.
Cheers,
Tim McCann

I am interested in the more details if you would
Thank you,
Bingo
