Although a small raid with limited damage it had far reaching effect in Japanese Naval Thinking especially Admiral Yamamoto. The Japanese decided to except Admiral Yamamoto's plan for the Midway Operation and the rest you know is History. From a Baby Boomer God Bless You General Doolittle.

*BRAVE* is a word almost inadequate to describe these men. These flyers each possessed a pair of nuts that most guys nowadays can only dream of. It's a moot point anyway, cuz in fact most guys nowadays have had their nuts removed by their local feminazis. Even though this raid didn't inflict much physical damage, it nevertheless gave the Japs a little bitch-slappin' taste of what was to come a few years later. The smart ones, like Adm. Yamamoto, paid strict attention.

Jimmy Doolittle is my Grandpa's cousin. The cool thing is, we have some of his money and my family's last name is Doolittle! We have personal photos of him, too. I never got to meet him because he died before I was born, but my dad did. And all the men on my Doolittle side of the family are in the army. (my daddy.)
