Rick Atkinson says in “An Army At Dawn” that Patton fired his revolvers at the FW-190s that strafed his HQ in Gafsa, Tunisia on April 3 ‘43. This event was portrayed in the Patton movie.
As I recall they were able to use Patton’s real pistols but in a scene firing blanks, not so much. Actor Scott pulled a semi-auto pistol in the movie.
Maybe the same pistol he was carrying when he decorated these soldiers late in WWII.
Another time in North Africa he was riding in an open car with a French official. They were fired on by an Arab. Patton fired on this guy but I believe with his semi-auto pistol. No hits.
In the field with Bradley and the Meteor of Mediocrity.
The .45 cal Colt Peacemaker on the bottom of this pic has two notches on the handle for the Mexican banditos Patton dropped in Mexico. The other pistol is a .357 magnum. He had other revolvers.
When World War Two ended Patton said, “Thus endeth the second lesson.”
