General JAMES H. DOOLITTLE - Medal of Honor

General ‘Jimmy’ Doolittle’s lifetime spanned the entire era of aviation from the Wright Brothers’ first flight, to astronauts landings on the moon. An Army Air Service pilot at 17, he took to dare-devil stunt-flying, air racing, and record breaking. With a Doctorate in aeronautical sciences, he helped pioneer instrument flying, and the development of high-octane aviation fuel. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he masterminded and led the historic attack on Tokyo, for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Promoted to General, he commanded the air war over Italy and North Africa, later taking command of the entire US Eighth Air Force in Europe. In a lifetime packed with adventure, ‘Jimmy’ Doolittle was truly one of the 20th Century’s great heroes.
