My guess is 1LT Raynor Lee Hebert - a true hero.

Google AI:

1Lt. Raynor Hebert of the USAF is honored for sacrificing his life on May 13, 1964, by staying with his crippled aircraft to avoid crashing into Lincoln Elementary School in Georgia while school was in session. He chose to guide the plane away from students, dying on impact.
Pilot: 1Lt. Raynor Hebert, USAF.
Date: May 13, 1964.
Location: Georgia (Lincoln Elementary area).
Action: Stayed with the plane rather than ejecting to avoid a, likely fatal, crash into a populated school.
