Legacy

“Easy” Eddie’s lawyer skills kept Al Capone out of jail and living the high life. He didn’t so much care about the atrocities happening around him, but Eddie wanted to give his son a good name. He ‘fessed up to the authorities and Capone went to prison. Before the year was through, Eddie was murdered by the mob in a lonely Chicago alley.

A pilot, on his way back to his carrier, spotted a Japanese squadron headed straight for the fleet. Without concern for his safety, he attacked them. He fought so hard that the Japanese had to abort their mission. When they reviewed his gun cannons, they found he’d destroyed five enemy aircraft all by himself. He became the first Ace fighter pilot. His name was Butch O’Hare, recipient of the Medal of Honor and he was Eddie’s son. Chicago was so proud they named O’Hare airport after the brave pilot.
