Albert O. Vorse Jr. served in fighter squadrons with which first flying ace of the Navy?
Edward O'Hare Lieutenant Commander Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare (March 13, 1914 – November 26, 1943) was an American naval aviator of the United States Navy, who on February 20, 1942, became the Navy's first flying ace when he single-handedly attacked a formation of nine heavy bombers approaching his aircraft carrier. Even though he had a limited amount of ammunition, he managed to shoot down or damage several enemy bombers. On April 21, 1942, he became the first naval recipient of the Medal of Honor in World War II.
USS Langley (CV-1) USS "Langley" (CV-1/AV-3) was the United States Navy's first aircraft carrier, converted in 1920 from the collier USS "Jupiter" (AC-3), and also the US Navy's first turbo-electric-powered ship. Conversion of another collier was planned but canceled when the Washington Naval Treaty required the cancellation of the partially built "Lexington"-class battlecruiser s "Lexington" and "Saratoga", freeing up their hulls for conversion to the aircraft carriers "Lexington" and "Saratoga" . "Langley" was named after Samuel Pierpont Langley, an American aviation pioneer. Following another conversion, to a seaplane tender, "Langley" fought in World War II. On 27 February 1942, she was attacked by nine twin-engine Japanese bombers of the Japanese 21st and 23rd Naval Air Flotillas and so badly damaged that she had to be scuttled by her escorts.
