Suburban man brings history back to life with 75-foot WWII aircraft

Every small town has its dreamer and along the quiet farm lined roads of Marengo, Illinois, that dreamer is Mike Kellner. 

 For 40 years, he has been working away in a barn to bring a ghost back to life. 

 The ghost is a 75-foot-long, gleaming aluminum WWII warbird known as the B-17.

WGN’s Erin McElroy brings you the story.
