Whittle jet engine as starting point for GE engine in U.S.

A discussion is occurring on another forum. It includes a photo from the grandfather of a poster. He is attempting to identify the men in the photo. From the original post: "Hi! I live in the Midwest US. I have recently taken charge of my Grandfather's papers and am trying to find a way to conserve and share them.
"Background: My grandfather worked for GE Riverworks in Lynn, MA starting in 1939. In 1941 he was put on a 6 man team to develop the Whittle jet engine into a US version with mass production as the end goal. He knew from the start of his involvement that he was working on new jet engine technology and worked directly with Whittle and his 3 engineers to develop a flight worthy prototype."
