John Tracy (Thunderbirds)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Tracy is a fictional character from Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation television show Thunderbirds and the subsequent films Thunderbirds Are GO and Thunderbird 6. The character also appeared in the live action movie Thunderbirds.
Third son of Jeff Tracy (instigator and financier behind International Rescue), John was named after astronaut John Glenn. Sources vary in the canon of the Thunderbirds series as to John's age and birth date, although one written source suggests that he was born on October 28, 2001.[1] As an alumnus of Harvard University where he studied electronics and communication, his quiet intellectual nature and interest in astronomy made him the natural choice for the solitary life as the occupant of Thunderbird 5, monitoring for distress calls from around the world.
