My father William Rose was a pilot on Skyscrapper early in the war. My Mom said that her brother Frank Cline radio man named this plane. A picture exists of their crew. Both Bill and Frank left a memoir Dad was in the 92nd bomb group so I think this is the same plane. I have bee looking for it. Thank you for finding it
