I have the DVD series Enterprise 360. This pilot shot down seven planes in one day during the Battle of Santa Cruz. He shot one down after he was out of ammo by playing chicken against the Japanese pilot and the other pilot crashed into the sea. He was now a double ace but yet they denied him the Medal of Honor.

Pissed off the boss. Although, I don't blame him for not playing the game by the admiral's rules.
