Seems our plane nuts are doing well. This one will be tougher, so I throw out some hints.

This guy won the MOH while flying for the Navy in WWII, but this isn't what the question is about. Early in his war career, he shot down two zeros and damaged a third in a plane no one thought possible. Name the guy and the plane.
Bonus: What was his MOH for?

Can't remember the name, but he was a Dauntless pilot flying CAP because they were short of Wildcats. At Midway, perhaps?

ETA Had an odd name. Vracieu, Vejstaha, something like that.
