Lt.Col. Charles Carpenter, also known as "Bazooka Charlie" was an observation pilot for the US during World War II.
.
While he mostly flew reconnaissance missions, during the Allied siege of Lorient in 1944, Charles realized that the fucks he was giving where to high, and therefore decided to bring the level to zero by attaching six M1 Bazookas on the wings of his small plane; nicknaming it “Rosie the Rocketeer”.
.
Charles used the aircraft on a series of attack missions, which he ran solo, destroying as many as six enemy tanks (including 2 Tigers) and several armored cars...in an observation plane...with bazookas stuck on it...let that sink in. #impregnatingpanzers #ww2 #imapilot #icanfly #crafty #stayzero #zerofoxtrot
