Richard H. Best, or simply Dick as known among his comrades was an American dive bomber who managed to sink two Japanese aircraft carriers, including the flagship Akagi on a single day during the Battle of Midway. The Battle of Midway was one of the most decisive battles that turned the tables for the United States of America in the Second World War. Richard Halsey Best was in his best as he shot one Japanese carrier after the other. He was the recipient of the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross awards. Though Best was posthumously recommended for Medal of Honor, it didn't see fruition. It is incredulous that one man was able to turn the tides of the World War II in just one day. With all four carriers decimated, the Japanese navy was in tatters. If its fleet wasn't annihilated by the American dive bombers, Japan would have continued its belligerence unabated and with impunity. Born in Bayonne, Best always aspired to be a pilot someday. He grew up listening to the legends of air veterans of World War One. it is no wonder that Best came out to be the best dive bomber during the WW2.
