Butch O'Hare's Desperate Dive
StoryHistorical Account★★★★He dove at the Zeroes, trying to at least clip off a wing or tail, in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible and rendering them unfit to fly. He was desperate to do anything he could to keep them from reaching the American ships. Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. Deeply relieved, Butch O’Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier.
The point
WWII pilot Butch O'Hare deliberately dives at enemy Zeroes to damage them and protect American ships, forcing the squadron to retreat.
