Dr Vernon Williams said: “I wonder if any of the family is still living in the Doncaster area or know a local historian who might know something about Sgt. Dunn or his family?
“I would like to include something in the film about Sgt. Dunn and Doncaster during World War II.”
The pilot was Canadian, the rear gunner was American, and the other five crew were British.
Sgt Dunn’s father and mother were named Alberta and Clara Dunn and his wife was Winifred (nee Wheatley) Dunn, all of Doncaster.
