Today, we toast to the Doolittle Raiders. On April 18th, 1942, Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle led a group of U.S. Army Air Forces airmen into the heart of the Japanese empire. Their mission: Conduct a raid on military targets at Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Nagoya, and Kobe. The Doolittle Raid boosted morale among Americans and allies abroad. Although the attack caused only minor damage, it forced the Japanese to recall combat forces and re-think their war strategy. | Airman Magazine
