Charlie Brown (the B-17 pilot of the [Franz Stigler incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Brown_and_Franz_Stigler_incident)).

([image of Brown’s damaged B-17 after it landed](http://jrenseyblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/ye_old_pub.png))  
ETA: a better description of the incident here, and reunion of Brown and Stigler in 2008. They both died later that year.
