-Caveat Lector-
During the course of World War II, many people gained
fame in one way or another. One man was Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter
pilot assigned to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. One time his
entire squadron was assigned to fly a particular mission. After he was
airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had
forgotten to top off his fuel tank. Because of this, he would not have
enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship. His flight
leader told him to leave formation and return. As he was returning to
the mother ship, he could see a squadron of Japanese Zeroes heading toward
the fleet to attack. With all the fighter planes gone, the fleet was almost
defenseless. His was the only opportunity to distract and divert them.
Single-handedly, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes and
attacked them. The American fighter planes were rigged with cameras, so
that as they flew and fought, pictures were taken so pilots could learn more
about the terrain, enemy maneuvers, etc. Butch dove at them and shot until
all his ammunition was gone, then he would dive and try to clip off a wing or
tail or anything that would make the enemy planes unfit to fly. He did
anything he could to keep them from reaching the American ships.
Finally, the Japanese squadron took off in another direction, and Butch
O'Hare and his fighter, both badly shot up, limped back to the carrier.
He told his story, but not until the film from the camera on his plane was
developed, did they realize the extent he really went to, to protect his
fleet. He was recognized as a hero and given one of the nations highest
military honors. O'Hare Airport was also named after him.
Prior to this time in Chicago, there was a man named Easy Eddie. He was
working for a man you've all heard about, Al Capone. Al Capone wasn't
famous for anything heroic, but he was notorious for the murders he'd
committed and the illegal things he'd done. Easy Eddie was Al Capone's
lawyer and he was very good. In fact, because of his skill, he was able to
keep Al Capone out of jail.
To show his appreciation, Al Capone paid him very well. He not
only earned big money, he would get extra things, like a residence that
filled an entire Chicago city block. The house was fenced, and he had
live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day.
Easy Eddie had a son. He loved his son and gave him all the best things
while he was growing up; clothes, cars, and a good education. And
because he loved his son he tried to teach him right from wrong. But one
thing he couldn't give his son was a good name, and a good example.
Easy Eddie decided that this was much more important than all the riches
he had been given. So, he went to the authorities in order to right the
wrong he had done. In order to tell the truth, it meant he must testify
against Al Capone, and he knew that Al Capone would do his best to have him
killed. But he wanted most of all to try to be a good example and to do the
best he could to give back to his son, a good name. So he testified. Within
the year, he was shot and killed on a lonely street in Chicago.
This sounds like two unrelated stories.
But Butch O'Hare was Easy Eddie's son.
