Imagine if the U.S. were directly involved. Do you think the Doolittle raid will get much of a headline, amid bad news from just about every theatre?
Now that you mention it, I wonder what it will be? I'm almost tempted to look ahead to see what the day's paper looks like on that day. After all, the primary purpose of the Doolittle raid was in increase the moral of the American people, it didn't and couldn't inflict any significant strategic damage.
