Hello, my grandfather Buddy Noah Keith was a gunner on the B-17 Bosch Buster later named Heaven Can Wait.  I would love to hear from from anyone who served with him or may have photos.  ross.james45@yahoo.com

It was not uncommon for a B-17 to have two nicknames. The right and left side of the aircraft nose section was used for this thus the second nickname.

Thank you for your reply about B-17s having 2 names.

If you look at the end of the assigned aircraft link you will also see there are quite a number of names which are not associated with any aircraft so I suspect that there are more than 7 but have not been identified yet.
