That is a question that most pilots and very few baggage handlers can answer. Very few can tell you who O'Hare was. (He was first US Navy Fighter Ace of WWII and was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1942. Lieutenant Commander Edward Henry "Butch" O'Hare was shot down in combat near the Gilbert Islands on 26 November 1943 and his body was never recovered.) Chicago's O'Hare International airport is named in his honor. The International Air Transport (IATA) Location Identifier code does not always match up exactly, and in a few cases it is fun but difficult to unscramble. The airport ORD which became O'Hare was originaly Orchard Field and the letters come from ORcharD.
