Lieutenant Commander Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare (13 March 1914 to 26 November 1943) was a United States Navy aviator who became the service’s first fighter ace of the Second World War. On 20 February 1942, while serving as a lieutenant with Fighting Squadron 3 aboard USS Lexington, he single-handedly attacked Japanese twin-engined bombers approaching his carrier.

Flying a Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat, O’Hare repeatedly attacked the incoming formation after losing the assistance of his wingman. Despite his limited ammunition, he was officially credited with shooting down five bombers and severely damaging a sixth. His actions helped protect Lexington from the attack and earned him the Medal of Honor.

On 21 April 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt presented O’Hare with the Medal of Honor, making him the US Navy’s first recipient of the award during the Second World War. O’Hare later served as a lieutenant commander and was lost during a night combat mission near the Gilbert Islands on 26 November 1943.

This design is based on the F4F-3 Wildcat O’Hare flew during his Medal of Honor action on 20 February 1942, BuNo 4031, known as “White 15”.
