War Correspondent Portrait of Major Carpenter Bazooka Pilot
Wes Gallagher portrays Maj. Charles Carpenter once a Utah history teacher and college football center as a bravely eccentric pilot in Patton's army. Carpenter arms his plane with six Bazookas to shoot back at enemy tanks and cars, claiming credit for destroying two tanks and numerous German vehicles. He rose to fame near Avranches and continued daring raids from Lorient to Nancy, insisting the fight must proceed relentlessly.
