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.
