Lieutenant Commander Edward Henry O’Hare was a distinguished American naval aviator known for his heroic actions during World War II. He achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the Navy’s first fighter ace by courageously engaging and shooting down five enemy bombers with limited ammunition. O’Hare was honored with the Medal of Honor for his bravery. Tragically, his final mission involved leading the Navy’s inaugural nighttime fighter attack from an aircraft carrier, during which his plane was downed. O’Hare’s enduring legacy is commemorated through the USS O’Hare destroyer and O’Hare International Airport.
