When 9 Japanese Bombers Attacked His Carrier — One Pilot Shot Down 5 Alone

On February 20, 1942, Lieutenant Edward "Butch" O'Hare climbed into his F4F Wildcat as nine Japanese bombers closed in on the USS Lexington. His wingman's guns were jammed. The rest of the squadron was 60 miles away. One pilot, four machine guns, and four minutes to save 2,951 men. What happened next made O'Hare the first naval ace of World War II and earned him the Medal of Honor — the only Navy pilot to receive it in 1942. This is the true story of the man behind O'Hare International Airport. 📌 Topics covered: The February 20, 1942 aerial battle over the Pacific O'Hare's father and the Al Capone connection How one Wildcat pilot broke a nine-bomber formation alone The Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House O'Hare's mysterious disappearance during a night mission in 1943 The naming of Chicago O'Hare International Airport 🔔 Subscribe for more untold World War II stories every week. #WW2 #ButchOHare #MedalOfHonor
