Gremlin Gus II, has that name due to being a special project survivor. A unique B 17, they called it a roadster, and it was the only open cockpit bomber that wasn't destroyed in a disaster-destined idiotic plan to make old B 17s flying radio controlled bombs

Gus was the name of the 1st guy to see a Gremlin in the Roald Dahl story, and so his buddies called him Gremlin Gus... more on the story at the bottom of the post

The Gremlin design was from Disney, based on a story and description from Roald Dahl, the guy motivated to get gremlins into pop culture from the tales told by British pilots. He was also the author of the many famous books, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice", and Matilda... but it all started with "Gremlins" with Disney

The Gremlins was released as a book by Walt Disney and Random House with proceeds going to the RAF Benevolent Fund.
