1 of 2 remaining Doolittle Raiders dies in Montana

The writer might have also said that the raid left the Japanese so agitated they reacted incautiously, sending a huge flotilla to Midway in the hopes of drawing out the remaining US ships from Hawaii for a major sea battle. So the Dolittle raid had a direct impact on the Battle of Midway in early June 1942, which turned the tide in the Pacific. Even when outgunned and outmanned, the US outfought Japan through use of superior intelligence and daring leaders--- who came up with a brilliant strategy that launched Army Air Corps planes off a Navy carrier. Let their memories be honored.

They were VOLUNTEERS!! I'm k.o'd by the selflessness of these people. They answered the plague in kind, though just a token, it made a point. The conceited plague , deeply ensconced in its invincibility was stung!! And vented their fury on the Chinese in the region where the planes crash-landed. The Chinese paid a hefty price indeed.

That would take guts ,,,RIP
