Re: Jill's Jalopy was 43-37511
<table> <tr class="GridRow"> <td> <p> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:LippertLaw@aol.com'>Jack "Dick" Lippert</a><br> <b>On: </b>08/26/2001 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>I stand corrected with an apology for misinformation I may have caused.<br><br>My dad didn't discuss his experience as a pilot in WWII. I knew the name of Jill's Jalopy but never knew the number by which it was officially registered. In fact, until I discovered this Forum, it had been my belief that dad's B-17 was shot down following his tour of duty in October, 1944.<br><br>I called my mother and she said it went down with another crew before that. It was only here that I learned that Jill's Jalopy went down with Lt. Fish as pilot. I'm on a learning curve that could have been filled in by my father during his lifetime. So I'm getting it here and from his tailgunner, Joe La Grasta.<br><br>I check this site everyday with fascination and anticipation!<br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
