Bens role in the battle of Pearl Harbor, December 1941 has gone down in the record books as one of the most courageous acts of the Second World War. At the time of the attack, Private First Class Benjamin Affleck was stationed on the USS Arizona at wharf in Pearl Harbor. The attack came as a huge surprise to Ben who was enjoying his free time at the ships miniature golf course. After the initial shock Ben’s superhuman initiative took control and with two of the ships anti aircraft guns in hand he successfully destroyed over 200 Japanese aircraft. However, this glorious feat was halted when the Arizona took a direct hit from a Japanese Torpedo. Ben was pushed overboard by a piece of shrapnel the size of a small child, causing major hemorrhaging to his upper torso and breaking two of his seven fingers on his left hand. Ben heroically recovered from the blast and managed to rescue 52 drowning sailors before he made it to shore. After a short snack Ben raced to the nearest airfield and mounted a weaponless OAF-9 Goose observation plane which he used to destroy a further 430 enemy fighters.

This one heroic feat caused a turning point in the war against Japan and Bens marvelous victory had earned him two Medals of Honor, An Iron Cross Second Class and two free tickets to Billy Eliot. In the Honor of Mr. Affleck a historically accurate film of the events was created in 2001 by highly acclaimed director Michael Bay.
