Origin of plane name
That’s All Jack: After the release of the bombs
over the target, the original copilot of this
plane, William H. Major, would reply out loud
“That’s all Jack”, and then they would begin
their route back to base. Family members of
Major, who died soon after the War, have said
there is not a specific reason he would say
this phrase, but rather just something he liked
to say. There was no one named “Jack” on
their crew. Clifford R. Olson was the original
pilot.
