Mar 16th, 2017: Lane Tech of Chicago Lane Tech of Chicago is a strange name for an airplane, Especially a B-17 in WW II, when they were usually had names like sexobon Wednesday Mar 15 11:52 PM I had a friend who went to Lane Tech, a highly regarded high school/secondary school. He was in one of the last few graduating classes as an all male school before it went co-ed. He completed the ROTC program there and was offered a West Point scholarship. He ended up going elsewhere though. xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Mar 15 11:55 PM Those a 10 very lucky guys. xoxoxoBruce Thursday Mar 16 11:28 PM I read Dan Aykroyd went to Lane Tech for awhile too.

Let you known that I did contact Mr. Ted Szalinski on Februari 15th 2016, and not the opposite way Mr. Tom Kane who picked up this story mid 2016, did contact me January 5th 2017. With the latest info - as for today - "Wacky Woody" was B-17G 42-39841 and Mr. Szalinski's B-17G 42-39856 ( see photo) has no name and nose art. Check : http://www.teunispats.nl/jack-edward-gibbs-4.htm and search for GECKS .... and you are all set. Questions ? Send me an e-mail as on this page: http://www.teunispats.nl/ww2.htm xoxoxoBruce Friday Mar 17 04:21 PM Thanks for the correction PATS. Looking at your link shows your attention to detail is amazing. You're doing a great job. PATS Saturday Mar 18 07:52 AM We can rule out "Wacky Woody", becasue that's 42-39841
