Where do we get such men? The Doolittle mission was one of the most heroic and daring of any military action of any nation. It was incredible.
The Greatest Generation.
My 2nd cousin’s daughter is married to Doolittle’s great grandson or grandson, can’t remember which, but I met him a couple of times at family reunions and he seemed like a very nice young man. Coincidentally, the cousin’s grandmother knew Amelia Earhart when my great Aunt was 17 or 18 one summer in S.C. She told me Amelia was doing some barnstorming and stayed at a hotel she was working in. Funny how the two paths sort of crossed.
