Fighter pilot Butch O'Hare became one of America's heroes in 1942 when he saved the carrier Lexington in what has been called the most daring single action in the history of combat aviation. The authors describe how O'Hare shot down five attacking Japanese bombers and severely damaged a sixth, and other awe-inspiring feats of aerial combat. They also explain his key role in developing tactics and night-fighting techniques that helped defeat the Japanese.
