Re: "Heaven Can Wait" type, nose art
<table> <tr class="GridRow"> <td> <p> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:patty_barker@sbcyahoo.com'>Patricia L. (Keith) Barker</a><br> <b>On: </b>06/27/2006 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>My dad, Sr/SGT Buddy Noah Keith was a waist gunner on the Boche Buster 42-31087, 612th bonbardment group. Boch Buster was the planes original name, the nick name was Heaven Can Wait. After the Buster was decommissioned and then re-commissioned, the name was officially changed to Heaven Can Wait. They flew 67 successive missions, with a totoal of 73 missions during WWII. During an attack on Politz 10/7/1944, all of the crew of the Boche Buster was interned in Sweden. <br><br>I do not know a lot about what my dad's war experiences were as he did not speak of them at all. <br><br>This is my two cents.....<br><br>Thanks -- Patty Keith Barker<br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
