Pétain? He was convicted of collaboration/treason and sentenced to death by firing squad. This was commuted to life imprisonment by de Gaulle, and he died in prison in 1951 (aged 94 or 95 by this point)

The one I'm thinking could (and did) get catapulted off a carrier, but couldn't land on it ... it was an Army plane.
Ahhh, P47 Thunderbolt! They were catipulted off carriers to land on Aslito Airfiled in Saipan after it was captured by the Marines.

It wasn't a question (not that those who didn't know, shouldn't) -- I was stating that "he got the boot" (as in, "kicked out"). If it weren't for his WW1 fame, the sentence may not have been changed (but, then, he undoubtedly wouldn't have held the Vichy presidency in the first place).
