Technical Fairy, First Class - a miniature, shirtless, gravel-voiced G.I. with wings, who appears in nine of the shorts - grants Private Snafu the powers of Superman in order to fight the Nazis. But Snafu is still Snafu. Even with his new powers, he screws things up by refusing to read his training manuals.
