Trouble-prone fliers Loops McCann and Banks Barrows served together in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Together they were known as Loops & Banks.
History
During the Second World War, Capt. Loops McCann, U.S.M.A.C. and his sidekick Lieut. Banks Barrows, U.S.M.A.C. fought the forces of Imperial Japan in the Pacific Theater. McCann's hot temper and peculiar sense of humor made his career a tumultuous one. He and Barrows bickered constantly, were both chronic discipline problems, and appeared to loathe one another, but in a dozen different dicey situations, they could coordinate, cooperate, and cover for one another, almost perfectly.
