Very impressive Tim (or do you prefer Sparky?).
@Alan -- no, not Lucky 666. Good guess though.
If nobody gets it today I'll post another clue.

By the way, has anyone read the book "Lucky 666: The Impossible Mission"? Sounds like it might be a good read.

Not Yankee Diddler. I love that name though :-) Not to mention the artwork :-)
Couple more clues: - Boeing B-17
- One particular, specific aircraft, had a name
- Served in the Pacific Theater
- Early model B-17
- Played a very historic role early in the war
