I hope this isn't sending you back to where you started from.
This is indeed Dwight "Barney" Zimmerley and his wife Florence. They are my maternal grandparents. There is a museum at the Marshall, Missouri airport that has some interesting aviation memorabilia. Barney is also in the aviation museum at Dulles.
