O’Hare airport in Chicago is named after a pilot who shot down air planes in world war ii

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward O’Hare was a lieutenant of the US Navy and a great pilot. His father was a lawyer. Edward was fascinated about flying planed and was successful in learning it too.

Like all other young navy personnel, he also took grave responsibility in the days followed by the Pearl Harbour incident by becoming a squadron leader. On February 20th, 1942 he shot down 6 out of 9 Japanese bombers all by himself.

The Chicago O’Hare Airport of the US was named after him.
