* BlitheSpirit: A manic, happy-go-lucky pilot dealing with Army regulation and the horrors of war.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Far from the stoic professional image of an Army officer, Bucky is hyperactive, impulsive, and equally prone to trying to turn any situation into a party or a brawl. On the other hand, he is a hell of a good flier. These two traits are largely why Buck suggests that Colonel Harding fire him as the Group Air Exec and put him back in his old job as a squadron commander.
