BUTCH O'HARE

On February 20, 1942 Butch O'Hare single handedly attacked 8 twin engine Japanese "Betty" bombers. O'Hare shot down 5 of the Japanese bombers in an attempt to defend the USS Lexington, making him the first naval "ace" of WW II and winning him the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. Sadly a year later at 29 years old he lost his life fighting on another mission. Also some Pin up nose art eye candy. Thanks to those who have fought or are currently fighting for our FREEDOM. Cheers!!
