Lt Walter Harvey & Lt Nate Mazer
Only two aircraft in the entire Eighth Air Force were ever named after individuals and both of them were in the 384th Bomb Group. Lieutenant Walter Harvey (left) was known as "Big Dog" and B-17 42-102661 SU-L was named in his honor after he was shot down. Lieutenant Nathan "Mike" Mazer (right) was a squadron armaments officer, but went on many combat missions unofficially. As he was Jewish, B-17 42-98000 SU-J was named "Fightin' Hebe" as a tribute to his spirit.
