"On this date in 1942, three captured American airmen who had bombed Japan in the Doolittle Raid were shot in Tokyo." Later in the article it says they were executed in China (Shanghai) which I believe is correct. Chinese villagers and members of Chang Kai-shek's army that were accused of helping the downed pilots were also executed.

Without looking it up, I believe thousands of Chinese were murdered by Japs in retaliation for the Doolittle raid.

Thanks for remembering/mentioning the brave Chinese soldiers and civilians who aided downed American fliers during WW2. Thousands were killed for that.
