Why a single American dive bomber pilot in the Coral Sea in May 1942 defied impossible odds and turned the tide of a desperate naval battle — shooting down enemy fighters and saving a carrier from destruction. This WWII story reveals how Lieutenant Stanley Vatasa’s skill, quick thinking, and bravery reshaped the battle above the Pacific waters.
May 8, 1942. Lieutenant Vatasa, Scouting Squadron 5, climbed into his SBD Dauntless aboard USS Yorktown. Outnumbered and outmatched, with Japanese Zeros diving at him and torpedo planes approaching the fleet, Vatasa had to think faster than the enemy could shoot. His daring maneuvers and accurate fire not only destroyed multiple enemy planes but also protected Yorktown and its sailors from catastrophic losses.
