"bucth o here"????

Respect the man enough by at least ATTEMPTING to spell his name right.


Lt. Cdr. Edward "Butch" O'Hare deserves better.

Most of the time, misspellings are just annoying. I'm not great at grammar or spelling but I'm not going to disrespect a hero by butchering their name.

Put in some effort before you start typing with your elbows.

You are an idiot.

[Njaco]

It was a sportive pictorial response to Cosimo's perspicacious reply to your inquery of Lt. Commander Edward Henry "Butch" O'Hare's final action while he was leading the U.S. Navy's first-ever nighttime fighter attack launched from an aircraft carrier.

Can't tell if you're putting us on, or as comiso90 stated, you're typing with your elbows.

Misspelling and typos are one thing... blatant, skull crushing laziness is another.

"bucth o here" is not phonetically close to the target and your sentences are built in the voice of a third grader.

You're kidding yourself if you think it's an honest case of misspelling.
It's laziness.

Take it as constructive criticism.

Not if they hit the top/sides of the canopy, plexyglass doesn't add much protection, and there were a few examples of these tough a/c being taken down in such a way. (in fact it was the pilot, not the plane that was taken out) Granted this is an unlikely type of hit, but it did happen.

Kearby's aggressiveness would lead him to violate a cardinal rule of aerial fighting in the Pacific: Never engage in a low speed turning fight with the agile Japanese fighters. Kearby hauled around in a punishing turn, trying to work his way onto the tail of another Hayabusa. That was a mistake. Virtually nothing could turn with the Ki-43 at speeds below 200 mph. Quickly three of the Japanese fighters had slipped in behind the slow moving P-47. Seeing Kearby's immediate peril, two members of his flight bounded into the Oscars. Maj. Blair and Captain Dunham each shot an Oscar off of Kearby's tail. The third Oscar managed to get a burst into the cockpit of Kearby's Thunderbolt. The P-47 went straight into the jungle below. There was no parachute seen. Kearby's killer had little time to celebrate his victory. Dunham exploded his Hayabusa seconds later. Dunham would finish the war with 16 confirmed kills.

Most, if not all, of the people on this forum who use English as a second
language do better than you do, fly boy. Marcel is Dutch, V2 and Wurger
are Polish..... even the Aussies (who have a language all their own) do
better that you. I'm beginning to think like TO..... I think you're putting
us on...... If not, then I have to agree with Der Adler. Our present school
system is in deep do-doo. You might try "preview post" before you hit the
submit button.

I fixed the title of the thread to the correct spelling... No one can be this ignorant by accident....
