He is number 5 (unknown) . John flew mostly rubber as I did when I qualified for the club. John was a paratrooper and prison guard in WWII. Jules Carrett, Otto Curth, John Bock , and I were all students and graduates at The Illinois Institute of Technology onn 33rd and Federal, and John and I and Frank Garcher (Mayor of a city I can't remember in Indiana) all worked at Comet Model Airplane and Supply Company on about 22nd and State Street during the war , plus serving in the armed forces. Jules and I were Navy, John was Air Force and Army. By the way, my name is "Klivans" not Klevans. I flew mostly power (Class A and B) and won the Mid-West Model Contest in 1950, Class B gas. I still have the engraved watch Charles Klivans, cklivans@att.net 1203 West Bullock Street, Denison TX 75020: 903-465-5828 I know most of the people including John Bock (deceased) as ‘UNKNOWN” in the 1943 picture.
