DESCRIPTION:About Us\nLieutenant Commander Edward Henry "Butch" O'Hare (M
 arch 13\, 1914 -  November 26\, 1943) was a naval aviator of the United 
 States Navy who on  February 20\, 1942 became the U.S. Navy's first flyi
 ng ace and Medal of  Honor recipient in World War II. Butch O'Hare's fin
 al action took place  on the night of November 26\, 1943\, while he was 
 leading the U.S. Navy's  first-ever nighttime fighter attack launched fr
 om an aircraft carrier.  During this encounter with a group of Japanese 
 torpedo bombers\, O'Hare's  F6F Hellcat was shot down\; his aircraft was
  never found. In 1945\, the  U.S. Navy destroyer USS O'Hare (DD-889) was
  named in his honor.\nA few years later\, O'Hare was honored when Colone
 l Robert R.  McCormick\, publisher of the Chicago Tribune\, suggested a 
 name change of  Chicago's Orchard Depot Airport as tribute to Butch O'Ha
 re. On September  19\, 1949\, the Chicago\, Illinois airport was renamed
  O'Hare  International Airport. The airport displays a Grumman F4F-3 mus
 eum  aircraft replicating the one flown by Butch O'Hare during his Medal
  of  Honor flight. The Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat on display was recovered  v
 irtually intact from the bottom of Lake Michigan\, where it sank after a
   training accident in 1943 when it went off the training aircraft  carr
 ier USS Wolverine (IX-64). The Air Classics Museum restored the  aircraf
 t in 2001 to look like the exact one that O'Hare flew. The  restored Wil
 dcat is exhibited in Terminal Two at the west end of the  ticketing lobb
 y to honor O'Hare International Airport's namesake.\nThe Butch O'Hare Ch
 icago Chapter of the International Plastic  Modelers Society (IPMS) was 
 inspired by the accomplishments and heroism  of Edward Henry "Butch" O'H
 are. The original members of the organization  therefore decided to take
  his name in memorial. Our membership consists  of a diversity of ages\,
  professions and backgrounds.  We welcome all  those who have any level 
 of interest or skill in modeling to explore our  web site and visit us a
 t our monthly meeting. The meeting is held the  second Friday of each mo
 nth at 7:30 pm at    	  St. Paul's United Church of Christ   	  5739 Dun
 ham Rd.  	  Downers Grove\, IL.
