Several questions that are asked in previous posts on this thread are answered in the following links.

Why the name Suzy-Q for the plane….. (see obit of priscilla).


Find A Grave links for Felix and Priscilla.

Attached is an obit for Felix (appears he may have died of cancer).

Life Magazine article on Suzy-Q starting on page 82. There are several good photos in the Life Magazine article from 1943. (Apparently Suzy-Q was the first B-17 to fly around the world, (but it took a little time….).
