A WWII action I hadn't heard of before. Before the battle of Coral Sea, there was the air attack near Rabaul where the first American ace in the Pacific was made and the Lexington has a near miss.

One of the Navy Pilots mentioned in the video, Butch O’Hare, had an airport in Chicago named after him! And, he has an interesting family story; father was a Mafia accountant who tried to go straight.
