Just got off the phone with Brigitte, Uncle Bernard's daughter . . .

. . . who said he was a navigator. So not Tail Gunner Charlie, but Navigator Charlie.
The story gets even better, though: I also spoke with Ian, Brigitte's other half and Bernard's son-in-law. Apparently, Bernard accompanied Ian and Brigitte to a wedding in Chicago for one of Ian's classmates. The groom's friends were taken by Bernard's British accent and demeanor. One of them asked how he would like to be addressed, expecting either Doctor or Professor Garney (Bernard held a PhD in economics).
Without missing a beat, Bernard said, "I should like to be addressed as Squadron Leader."
