I'm active duty Navy, and I'm ashamed to never have known who this man was. A little tidbit of information, O'Hare is actually the airport every sailor flies to when arriving at Navy bootcamp. It's really cool to finally know his story
My brother was in the Navy for 6 years, I remember flying into O'Hare airport when our family were visiting him for his graduation ceremony from basic training. Never knew that the name of the airport was symbolic and meant something.
I love the stories you tell, especially how you include contextual history that adds to the overall big picture. For example, you could have left the whole part about EJ out, but it adds a whole new layer of understanding and appreciation for what Butch did. Plus, I love your animation style. Very "simple" looking, but extremely detailed at the same time. Hard to explain. Keep up the great videos!
An anecdote about O'Hare, serving as an instructor on Hawaii mid-1942. He was a great swimmer and spearfisherman, and he insisted that the squadron swim with him. Swimming with Butch O'Hare meant that at eight o'clock in the morning, you swam out into the ocean off Maui; he would still be out there at three in the afternoon! If he got hungry, Butch would roll over and dive, and the next thing you knew, he would come up with a fish of some sort. Then he'd just roll over and lie on his back like an otter and eat the thing raw! He really impressed us with that! One day, he came back to the surface with an octopus draped over his arm. He said, 'Now, you have to learn how to kill these things, boys: you bite 'em right behind the eye.' And with that, he chomped down! The octopus has some sort of spinal cord there, and biting it there does kill it! Then we had to go back to the beach where Butch would put these things in a frying pan with a little oil and some salt and stir them around. He enjoyed them, but they tasted like old rubber tires to me!
You shouldn't judge anyone at all you silly dumb human. You are in no position to judge any other human being. Lookup determinism and also how finite your little brain is compared with the enormity of the universe.
@@bradbutcher3984 Definitely three great people to bring us such great history without political or self serving problems we get from many who try to do history. They really have earned respect and notareity for their work.
I actually have an old 8mm newsreel from 1942 published by an outfit called "Official Films" that has a segment of film where FDR is presenting O'Hare with his Congressional Medal of Honor... I found that film among some 8mm home movies at a garage sale years ago, and it's one of my prized historical films.
A mobster's son that became a hero? Amazing! It's all started by a father who wanted to set a good example to his son so that he would not follow his father's footstep even though he was a mobster. Because of his father, Butch O'Hare finally became an honourable hero. Great video once again, Yarnhub. 👍😄
the city of chicago should buy the rights to display this video in terminals around the O'Hare airport. This was an absolutely amazing video. You have real talent to not just bringing history to life, but showing us WHY it is important.
I am into stuff like this involving USS Enterprise, but I never knew Butch's dad was a mobster or that O'Hare International was named after him. The more you know.
@@wackypacky6917 I wonder where his plane ended up? BTW My uncle was a Gangster with the Purple Gang who were connected to Al Capones crew with the Purple Gang supplying the booze to Chicago.
MG SS, I am learning that many people in the armed services did not survive the Second World War after earning high honors. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: John Basilone was a United States Marine Corps gunnery sergeant who received the Medal of Honor for heroism above and beyond the call of duty during the Battle for Henderson Field in the Guadalcanal campaign, and the Navy Cross posthumously for extraordinary heroism during the Battle of Iwo Jima. ----'' Aside: "Posthumously" means the award medal was given to one of his relatives (probably his mother), after he was killed in the war (meaning: he was killed in the Battle of Iwo Jima).
What a story this one is! From the lawyer of Chicago's darkest gangster, and today the city's airport is named after his son! O'Hare is world famous today. Such an incredibly inspiring history. Thanks a lot.
Almost every upcoming US Navy Sailor passes through O'Hare international. The more curious ask about that "little plane." Very few know who O'Hare was. Even fewer know his father's story. There's one gentleman who works at that gate who will tell the story of Butch O'hare and his father. And boy was it refreshing to hear one last Navy history story before starting my stay at Great Lakes, Illinois.

You're batting 1000 so far; I have watched 3 of your videos and every one of them has reduced me to tears. Please, keep doing what you do. This world needs good stories and it needs heroes, real ones that require no supernatural powers or outlandish costumes, but who rise to the occasion and get the job done when called upon.
they are nothing like oversimplified, more like simple history with more of a story and narrative. oversimplified is like normie joke history which is still good but overrated for people like you
Glad to hear he got married, saw some action and got his blood pumping along with a serious promotion and the MOH before he died. That's how a person truly lives
Excellent work, Yarnhub! I knew of the connection to Butch O’Hare and Capone. However, I noticed some things that I feel need mentioning (they don’t affect the narrative, which is the most important part of the story, but I’ll bring them up anyway). 1. I saw that the aircraft carrier shown here was the second Lexington (CV-16). Butch flew off the first Lexington (CV-2). 2. The airplane Butch vanished in (an F6F Hellcat) had later markings (no red circle, since that was retired after the Battle Of Coral Sea in May 1942, and white bars with blue borders like the B-17 in the Stigler/Brown video). 3. The replica of Butch’s plane at O’Hare is an F4F Wildcat, which is different from the airplane depicted on the pedestal (an F6F). This Wildcat was actually recovered from Lake Michigan, where it had crashed on a training flight off of one of the old paddle steamers converted into training carriers on the lake. Again, the narrative is correct, and that’s the most important bit, but I just wanted to give constructive criticism.
Derrick Yeo as a matter of fact I did. Content creators may make occasional oversights, but there can still be value in that same content. I knew about Butch O’Hare, but not about his father, and anyone who brings up the story along with details I wasn’t aware of beforehand. I even told Yarnhub I enjoyed this piece, errors and all. But as long as you openly state your intent to offer constructive feedback, such oversights will be less likely to happen. Sorry for rambling, but short answer is this; Despite any oversights made by Yarnhub, I enjoyed this video, and wanted to offer some of the things I already knew about Butch O’Hare.
That's great but maybe word it like your not trying to be clever or arrogant, I love anything to do with ww2 history ,my grandad was in the royal navy . I love learning stuff as not the most educated ,so I take on board the interesting things you had to say but just wish maybe people started with . Great clip but just to let you know etc........ Thanks for info ,nothing bad ment
Derrick Yeo I think I did the best I could, given the fact that Yarnhub liked my comment. In that comment, I also mentioned that while I understand that the narrative of storytelling is more important than details, details are still very important for me, as I assure it is for you. If you felt I came across as arrogant, I apologize for that and appreciate your concern. Finally, I would like to thank your grandfather for his service in the Royal Navy.
I got pictures of The Wildcat in Terminal 2 last time I was in O’Hare Airport. Butch’s original Wildcat is still in the flight hangar of the Lexington at the bottom of the Coral Sea. Bob Ballard found the ship not long ago....too bad they can’t recover Butch’s plane.....
Simple History but a thousand times better. The art's good, the sounds are great and the voice acting (or narrating to be exact) is spectacular. Good job!
@@Y10HK29 too little too late, people who wanted history with good animation have already come to yarnhub, so they cant actually see simple history's improvement because they dont watch it anymore
I remember the first video I watched it was the “bf 109 sparing a stricken b-17” it was when you still used the 2-d animation but still did bloody good with the planes and now you have evolved the channel forward with 3-d and I like it, try something new every now and then.
Thank you again. With so many people trying destroy our nation's history it's so good to see and hear all these wonderful uplifting stories of heroes who gave all.
In a time when landmarks and important locations were named after people of honor rather than elitist politicians and donors. What a great story of Butch O'Hare's heroism!
Wow, I did not know of this story, it's awesome, as a person who wanted to be a pilot when I was young, I do love these stories, they really solidify my image of pilots being the modern day examples of Knights protecting their loved ones in the air. Thank you for yet another awesome video. Can't wait to see what you will make next.
I must say that I liked the 2d animation a little bit more. I felt more emotion there for some reason. Though this still does not decrease the video quality. I look forward to see more! I have a suggestion for a video; Karl von Müller, captain of SMS Emden. He was an extraordinary naval commander and even his captives saw him as a hero.
Awesome story, his Pa be proud of his son but sad he lost his life (RIP - Lest We Forget as ironically it's Anzac Day this morning here in Perth Australia) 🙄
It had other unofficial nicknames--American pilots called it the Flying Zippo, and its Japanese crews called it the "one shot lighter," because it burned so easily.
Not only Easy Eddie took sacrifice himself for protecting his son. But also he save alot men in Uss Lexington... this the best and sad video I ever seen and I love it!😭😭😭😭😭😭🏅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤝
2:49 Great animation here along with narration! It gives people empathy to be dedicated to be a good father without you having to be one yourself. I definitely felt emotional attachment to my perceived version of my kid during this scene. Yarnhub never fails to impress me, glad I subscribed.
Another great upload as always! May I add though CV-16 USS Lexington was the Essex class carrier commissioned after the first USS Lexington, CV-2, the one I believe that you are referring to here, was sunk in the Battle of the Coral Sea. Excellent animation! Cheers! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Stories of heroism, bravery, and the true compassion of man all make me feel warm and happy. War brings out both the best and worst in humanity and this man's sense of duty to his country has my respect.
I had heard a slightly different version of the story a few decades ago. Thanks for correcting some errors and fleshing out the details. I often think about the story. You've made it more inspiring.
I’ve heard the story of the man and the action that made him a hero before, but the backstory and his fate are all new to me. Thanks for “filling in the blanks”! And one minor correction: Soulard is pronounced soo-lard (or sue-lard if you prefer). Not a big deal, but if you ever have opportunity to use that name again, you’ll be prepared!
this HAS to be one of the most under-rated youtube channels. I loved the video. can't wait for more! you guys have criminally few subscribers! imma share

Im sitting here at terminal 2 looking up at this plane as i watch this video. It makes it all feel so much better and yet sombering at the same time, if anyone makes a trip to Chicago its worth the walk guys

Another great upload as always! May I add though CV-16 USS Lexington was the Essex class carrier commissioned after the first USS Lexington, CV-2, the one I believe that you are referring to here, was sunk in the Battle of the Coral Sea. Excellent animation! Cheers! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Stories of heroism, bravery, and the true compassion of man all make me feel warm and happy. War brings out both the best and worst in humanity and this man's sense of duty to his country has my respect.
I had heard a slightly different version of the story a few decades ago. Thanks for correcting some errors and fleshing out the details. I often think about the story. You've made it more inspiring.
6:09
I love it when the music beginning like this
Ah. This shot again❤❤ 2:30
It looks much better in this video.
I am actually from Chicago and have been to O’hare. This is quite a neat thing I learned.
I was on the Lexington it's now docked in Texas and used as a museum I went for vacation to honor all that fought on it
I’ve heard the story of the man and the action that made him a hero before, but the backstory and his fate are all new to me. Thanks for “filling in the blanks”!
And one minor correction: Soulard is pronounced soo-lard (or sue-lard if you prefer). Not a big deal, but if you ever have opportunity to use that name again, you’ll be prepared!
this HAS to be one of the most under-rated youtube channels. I loved the video. can't wait for more! you guys have criminally few subscribers! imma share
Thank You !
What an incredible tale. The ending made me cry a little.
It's amazing how people willingly put themselves into seemingly un beatable odds and still come out on top
Never heard about him and his story. Great man and great father not wanting to give an example of being criminal to his son.
Been here since 12k subscribers and I am glad too see that this channel is finally starting to take off.
No matter how bad you are remember you still have a chance to change it's never too late.
I absolutely love your narration and animation style and you always bring one so close to the history that occurred, like we were there ourselves. Thank you so much❤️
Al Capone: You can't just send you son to train at the Air Force
O'Hare's Father: Son go Drrrrrrrr
Yep. Thats why he sent him to the NAVY.
Son go BRRRRRRTTTTTT
You remind me of simple history both you and him make great videos keep up the good work 👍
This channel is so underated
Im sitting here at terminal 2 looking up at this plane as i watch this video. It makes it all feel so much better and yet sombering at the same time, if anyone makes a trip to Chicago its worth the walk guys
5:40: Ah yes, the USS Carrier. My favorite!
Another nice video from Yarnhub, quality over quantity. Youre still the best animated historical youtuber for me
The animation of this channel is getting better and better

Michael Corleone? He earned a Navy Cross for his actions.
Michael Corleone is fictional.
@@maximaldinotrap no shit
Captain: Youre fighting 8:1!
O'Hare: Never tell me the odds
OH wow, I didn't know the AFB was named after him. Awesome. Now I know something new. One is never too old to learn. Thank you!
That one guy who disliked must be simple history

Thank you for sharing this story. It makes me feel a little homesick for the Windy City.
