Jimmy Doolittle and his flying Raiders who launched an astounding mission into the heart of Tokyo; with the first Army bombers ever to take off from an aircraft carrier; and doing so far ahead of schedule when a Japanese picket boat or two threatened to give away the location of the task force. Faced with gas shortages and unaware of whether they'd reach friendly territory or not; these men didn't put much of a dent on Tokyo with their 16 bombers; but made the Japanese realize for the first time that their winning streak would soon be over with this first raid over the Japanese homeland.Doolittle was given a double-promotion to Brigadier General for this; and the Medal of Honor when Doolittle was worried at one point after his crash-landing about if he'd be court-martialed or not for the outcome.One crew managed to land in Russian territory; where they were given a cool reception and practically treated as prisoners by a country that was supposedly our ally; but they managed to get their way out of Russia safely in the end.Other crews were helped by the Chinese after they made it on the ground and spirited away from prying Japanese patrols; who introduced a new wave of slaughter into that part of China for the crime of helping the American fliers.Others just weren't that lucky and were captured by the Japanese; some of them executed; the rest starved and tortured for the rest of the war; told by their captors that if Japan lost the war; those fliers would be executed anyway.This is their story.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Great Event Told in Easy to read Detail.By Dr. David AreletteIn less than six months after the Day of Infamy at Pearl Harbour in December 1941; Doolittle lead 16 converted light bombers off the carrier Hornet to attack the main island of Japan. Forced to take off earlier than planned when an enemy fishing / watch boat was sighted; the raiders attacked their targets with such surprise that all 16 escaped - to a long flight at night to China where they had to bail out as their fuel ran dry. This book covers the selling of a really crazy plan; the preparation under great secrecy and the assistance of the Chinese people in rescuing many of the survivors. It is very detailed and offers a first hand account of every element of the mission; and is a very good read. For those who have never heard of this first strike back against Japan; it is well worth buying.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. America's First/ GreatestBy Burton William BellAfter reading is opus on Pesrl Harbor found thus book equally compelling. Was already familiar w/ general ugliness if nook snd the Doolittle raid on Tokyo but thus gripping account really puts into the cockpit -- almost! -- of the fliers. And yo resd about their treatment in captivity absolutely heartbreaking. These guys were indeed The First Heros. Tremendous yarn and detaiked in extremist.
