This is the kind of article well worth reading. History of a great airport, in a well written and documented timeline, Slide show was magnificent and even had me sitting there naming the automobiles.
Great article! I just love me some history! Remember taking that railway to downtown Chicago once and only once! Scary place at night. My company was too cheap to rent a car or cab ride!.LOL long time ago.
Wasn't Ohare named after a WWII naval pilot?

Thanks, James. That was interesting.
Great story. Never knew where ORD designation came from until reading this but it now makes complete sense.
