Ahh ... this name confusion I know about. A surviving crewmember, Lt. Leonard Mendelson, told the family of Allen Brown that some general renamed Heaven Can Wait Boche Buster, but the crew refused to fly with that name. As far as I know, it may be listed as Boche Buster in some records, but the "real" name (as it was painted on the nose) remained Heaven Can Wait.

Thanks for the media archives info.
