Biography:
Little is known about Alvin Davenport’s early history. Almost immediately after joining the Osean Air Defense Force, he began a reputation that would follow him to the end. He constantly had bad-mouthed superiors over the radio, and he was notorious for unnecessary excessive chatter. After the catastrophic event over the Ceres Ocean that involved the deaths of nearly a dozen trainee pilots, Davenport was assigned the third position in Wardog Squadron, headed by Captain Jack Bartlett of an equally damaged reputation.

Chopper’s (Davenport’s call sign) first contribution to the Circum-Pacific War was sending a surrender request to a damaged enemy reconnaissance aircraft hit by friendly SAMs. In the following weeks, Chopper continued to serve under two different captains: Bartlett, and his former wing-mate known by him only as “Kid”. During the Circum-Pacific War between Osea and Yuktobania, Chopper seldom referred to the budding ace known by only one other name, Blaze, by any other moniker than the one given to him by Captain Bartlett. He constantly argued with his squadron’s AWACS, Thunderhead, over his “useless” chatter.

Chopper made it known to his allies that he did not support this war. After escorting Osean president Harling to safety, Chopper had some degree of faith for the president’s ability to restore peace, but when Operation Footprint took place he lost all trust in his country’s leader. He constantly spoke out against the war during several operations, criticizing military and political leaders. His tendency to speak out was noticed by capital personnel during and after his interrogation after he and his squadron allegedly attacked a Yuktobanian engineering college.

After sinking the Yuktobanian submarine carrier Hrimfaxi, 1st Lieutenant Davenport seemed to like the nickname that his squadron gained as the “Demons of Razgriz”. He was even quoted later by referring to himself as “Razgriz 3” during the operation in the Jilachi Desert.

Wardog Squadron gained so much attention that they were eventually asked to do a fly-by over a stadium in Osea’s November City. During that operation, a cry for peace was heard by the citizens in the stadium, and Chopper eagerly joined in. Unfortunately, a large number of Yuktobanian fighters began an attack on the stadium, where Wardog Squadron intercepted and engaged them.

When a group of incoming stealth fighters was detected, Chopper was hit by an enemy missile. He refused to bail out in fear that his plane would hit innocent civilians trying to escape the besieged stadium. Once the fighters in the area had cleared, he attempted to eject from his plane, but his systems failed and he ended up crashing into the stadium and dying on impact after one last sentence to Thunderhead. He was posthumously promoted two ranks.

...bypassing PJ Beckett, Hans Grimm, and "Gene" for that award?

In a dead-serious squadron, his sense of humour was at least a human point in the formation.

I liked Chopper, he balanced out the annoyance of Nagase.

Chopper is by far the least annoying wingman. Grimm, Nagase, and Snow are all a huge pain in the rear. Chopper was the only good AI anyway...

Quoted because of the sheer truth.

Nemo is a computer. Nuff said. Ever played a game with an unbalanced AI that can snipe you from the other side of the map using a pistol and makes you rage? That's Nemo.

He IS a smart character. Any good, rational pilot would question orders. It's not just his neck at stake, anyway. He's thinking about the other pilots and civilians, and that's important. He could have bailed to save himself, but he didn't want to abandon his squadmates or kill unsuspecting civilians.

He may have been the most annoying, but he does manage to do damge and is more useful them Grimm.. Grimm is just a whiner.

He would also question orders for Lit Fuse, but he did not put it out into the open.

As for Snow, he actually was not at all that bad, but Grimm and Nagase were. AT least Chopper would make one laugh, unlike the others:

Grimm: "Really? I thought I smelled something fishy..."

"Uh, Chopper to Archer, you sure that's not your own suit you're smelling?"

His Japanese voice actor is also humourous.

Yeah, Chopper is funny. PJ and Shamrock try to be funny. BTW, is it just me, or does he kinda look like Elvis?
