The Marine Corps’ first ace, Marion E. Carl, was awarded the Navy Cross for ” extraordinary heroism” during his very first combat mission. On the night of 3 June 1942, a Japanese strike force with four aircraft carriers was spotted closing on Midway Island. Flying a F4F-3 Wildcat , Captain Marion Carl was in one of two air groups committed early next morning to defend the Marine garrison. Some 30 miles off Midway, 25 American Fighters tackled 108 Japanese Zeros and dive-bombers. Though both greatly outnumbered and outclassed, the Marine pilots fought doggedly against the highly experienced enemy flyers. Following this initial air engagement, 15 of the 25 Marine aircraft failed to return; Carl's Wildcat was one of only two planes fit to fly again. As a result of the Island's heroic defensive effort, the Japanese commander ordered a second air attack. Late on 4 June, Navy aircraft from three US carriers found the enemy task force in the midst of preparing for their second strike. In the ensuing battle, all four Japanese carriers were destroyed along with 322 of their aircraft. The Battle of Midway would prove to be the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

The autograph(s) has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for authenticity purposes.
