Day card.

Insurance Co. stationery. To Mr. Scott Galloway, San Francisco, California.
In full: "Thank you very much for the thoughtful Valentine's Day card.
You were kind to remember. Every good wish. Very sincerely". 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. Fold
creases not near signature. Fine condition.
