Butch O'Hare. Narrated by Anil Mani

Edward “Butch” O’Hare is one of the most famous US fighter pilots in history, made so not just because of his skill and bravery but because of his own family life. Edward O’Hare was born in St Louis on 13th March 1914. Edward had two sisters Marilyn and Patricia but was separated from his father when his parents Edward J and Selma divorced in 1927. Edwards’s father moved to Chicago where he famously ended up working for the gangster Al Capone.
The story of how Edwards’s father turned against Al Capone and testified against is often repeated on the internet. In some versions of the story his father is determined to make sure that the reputation he passed on to his son is redeemed and not one associated with organised crime. Other commentators are less generous and attribute the motivation for turning against Al Capone as based on self preservation rather than concern for his son. Whatever the truth the fact remains that Edward J O’Hare’s evidence did help convict Al Capone and in 1939 Butch O’Hare’s father paid the ultimate price when he was gunned down by some of Capone’s men. The killing made the headlines and is covered in the biography mentioned at the end of this article.
