Timeline
Archie G. Donahue died on July 30, 2007, in Rio Hondo, Texas. He was subsequently cremated.
Donahue continued serving in the Marine Corps after the war, retiring as a Colonel in 1958. From 1981 to 1991, he worked for the Confederate Air Force, an organization devoted to restoring World War II aircraft.
On April 12, 1945, Major Donahue finally earned the title of ace in a day, personally shooting down three Vals and two Zekes with his F4U Corsair off the coast of Okinawa. This feat made Donahue the first carrier-based Marine ace in a day. Donahue was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions that day, and the award was personally presented to him by Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher.
In February of 1944, Donahue was assigned to the newly formed Marine Fighting Squadron 451 (VMF-451) at Marine Corps Air Station Mojave. The squadron was attached to the USS Bunker Hill, taking part in raids over mainland Japan and supporting the Marine landings at Iwo Jima. The squadron then participated in bombing missions on Okinawa, just prior to the invasion. Several Marines with the squadron were shot down and killed, and Donahue was made the executive officer.
On May 13, 1943, Donahue's flight engaged in a one hour long dogfight west of Florida Island. Donahue possibly became an ace in a day, as he was confirmed to have shot down four Zeros, and probably shot down a fifth. A fellow Marine verified the fifth kill, but Donahue was never credited for it. Tragically, Donahue's wingman, Otto Seifert, was killed in the dogfight.
On November 2, 1942, Donahue's squadron joined the Cactus Air Force at Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. Donahue scored his first aerial victory, a Zero, on November 14. Donahue quickly contracted malaria and was sent to Sydney, Australia to recover. As soon as he was well again, Donahue returned to Guadalcanal.
Archie Glenn Donahue (October 24, 1917 – July 30, 2007) was a decorated American combat pilot and a United States Marine Corps fighter ace during World War II. He shot down a total of 14 Japanese planes during the war, including five in a single day.
Archie G. Donahue was born in Casper, Wyoming, on October 24, 1917. He studied engineering at the University of Texas before joining the United States Navy in March 1941. Ensign Donahue earned his wings three days before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Shortly after, he transferred to the Marine Corps.
