What kind of planes did edward O'Hare shoot down in the second world war?
Edward "Butch" O'Hare became the US Navy's first "ace in a day" and first Medal of Honor fighter pilot when he was credited with destroying five Japanese Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" medium bombers in a single flight, and damaging a sixth. Japanese records indicate he actually destroyed three and damaged three. O'Hare and his wingman were the only fighters aloft when the flight of nine Bettys approached O'Hare's carrier, the USS Lexington (CV 2). The wingman's guns jammed, leaving O'Hare as the sole protection for his ship. O'Hare's fierce attack broke up the Japanese bombing attack and the Lexington remained undamaged. Later in 1942 O'Hare destroyed a Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter plane.
