Milo Minderbinder

First Lieutenant Milo Minderbinder is a true master of destinies on the island. This mess officer creates a syndicate and declares all the pilots to be its members. Although he is not in a hurry to share the profit. Strongly determined to put the war on a commercial basis, he gets the money from the Americans to bomb the bridge controlled by the Germans; and from the Germans – a large sum for protecting this important facility. Inspired by the success, he is contracting to bomb the airfield of his base in Pianos and faithfully fulfills all the points of the contract: Americans are bombing Americans.
