From the Harriman story on pg. 4.

The War Department announced that “a similar tour” would be taken simultaneously by three prominent Air Corps officers – Colonel E.M. Powers, the famous Major James H. Doolittle, and Lieut. Col. K.G. Boyd, who “will meet General Brett’s party at certain points of the war front.”

“The Famous Major James H. Doolittle”? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Check back about this time next year.
