George Hardy (born June 8, 1925) is an American retired pilot and military officer.

In World War II Hardy served with the Tuskegee Airmen and flew 21 combat missions.

He was qualified to fly single-engine planes and sent to Walterboro Army Air Field in South Carolina to train for combat.

[7] One senior officer, then-Lt Col Fred W. Miller, disliked Hardy because of his race and he removed him from a B-29 mission.

[10] He flew missions at night using infrared to destroy North Vietnamese supply routes and convoys in Laos and Cambodia.

Of these four, only Hardy and Stewart served as fighter pilots flying the red tail painted P-51D's on combat missions with the 332nd FG overseas based at Ramitelli AB, Italy.

The actual P-51 that Hardy flew on many of his combat missions was restored to the markings of "Tall in the Saddle" in England and still flies at airshows there.
