He was a brave man indeed! 🤜👍
Surprised that General Patton did not make him his personal pilot? Decorated him & ended the court martial. Read about him in 1 of my magazines.
Charles Carpenter was indeed a true braveheart which impressed General Patton so much that he wanted such men for the army 🪖 !!!!! Your videos are getting better and better, FactBytes !!!!! I also wish you and your family a very Happy New Year, FactBytes !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
Don't let Charlie grow bored I guess 😆
this plane can be seen at the american heritage museum in massachusetts
Like many WW2 veterans, when he returned to civilian life, he never told anyone, including his students, about what he did.
I wish he was my history teacher.
plane is still flying. found in a flying club in switzerland? guys daughter was at a rededication ceramony
Why wasn't he given the Medal of Honor . We know his grave mistakes for friendly fire. Which was not losing a plane , especially doing a stunts like flying underneath the Golden Gate bridge by Ira Bong who got a Medal of Honor. This crazy Major should have gotten Medal of honor too.
Wonder if his plane is in the Smithsonian
