Discover the unbelievable true story of Major Charles “Bazooka Charlie” Carpenter, the fearless WWII history teacher turned pilot who strapped six bazookas to his tiny Piper L-4 Grasshopper and went tank hunting. During the Battle of Arracourt in September 1944, Carpenter stunned the German Wehrmacht by destroying six tanks—including two deadly Tiger I heavy tanks—while flying at only 70 mph in a fabric-covered plane never designed for combat. Nicknamed “The Mad Major”, he became the only tank ace to fly an observation aircraft, forcing the Germans to rethink their anti-aircraft defenses. This documentary dives deep into U.S. 4th Armored Division archives, official records, and Stars and Stripes reports to reveal how American ingenuity turned a $2,500 civilian plane into a tank-killing legend. Witness the incredible story of “Rosie the Rocketer,” the plane that survived battle with bullet holes still preserved in museums today. A tale of courage, innovation, and one man’s determination to fight back against overwhelming odds—this is the definitive account of Bazooka Charlie’s aerial war against German armor.
