JAMES H. DOOLITTLE
Black and white publicity photograph of James Doolittle in his dress
uniform.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Eddie and Betty Sousa:/With
every good wish./J. H. Doolittle". B/w, 8x9¾. Publicity photo for Mutual of
Omaha. Photo credit on verso (no show through). In 1922, Jimmy Doolittle made
the first transcontinental flight in less than 24 hours. In the 1920s and
1930s, he set various speed and flight records. In World War II, Doolittle
and 79 other fighter pilots ("Doolittle's Raiders") bombed Tokyo on April 18,
1942, the first air attack on the Japanese capital. Also hit were targets in
Yokohama and other cities, scoring a huge victory for United States morale at a
time when Japan's position in the Pacific seemed impregnable. Doolittle was
promoted to Brigadier General the next day and was later awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor for the raid. Slightly worn at corners.
Overall, fine condition.
