Just a Thought… Redux

Found on this Website

Hi, just a thought, you mentioned James H. McD. MacKinnon in one of your letters, he was my Father. Do you have any more information of him? He was killed on the 23rd march 1945.
Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Patricia Taylor.

I asked Patricia for more information about her father to help us find more if possible.

Found this comment on this blog about a pilot I have talked about on this blog: Flight Lieutenant James Evans Jenkins.

On the last post from his daughter who pays homage to her father, someone wrote this…

Not much more on the Internet just like information on James Evans Jenkins before his daughter started to write about her father.
