The complete account of one of the biggest gambles and most harrowing stories of courage to come out of World War II.Five months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt and military leaders decided to boost American morale by undertaking a daring offensive against Japan. Forced to launch early from the aircraft carrier Hornet after being spotted by Japanese fishing boats, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle and his 16 B-25 bombers flew to their targets. But the early launch forced 15 crews to bail out or ditch their aircraft instead of landing in China as intended. What was supposed to be thirty seconds over Tokyo became an odyssey of escape for some crewmembers that lasted fourteen months and cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Japanese patriots. Author Carroll Glines tells the story of Doolittles raiders; their bold bombing mission; their long struggle to escape their pursuers through China, and how the raid altered Japanese thinking about the security of their home islands and induced them to withdraw forces from the perimeter of their far-flung empire.Giles personally interviewed most of Doolittles surviving raiders to produce this dramatic and authentic story.

Hardcover. As new condition with as new dust jacket. 258 pages. Black and white photographs. Bibliography and index. After Pearl Harbor, the United States had to frantically ramp up and deploy their air strike power; on April 28, 1942, the aircraft carrier Hornet, having een spotted by a Japanese fishing boast some 650 miles east of Japan, was forced to prematurely launch Lt. Col. James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle and his sixteen B-52 bombers against the major Japanese cities. It was one of the biggest gambles and most harrowing missions of the war---no American force had ever bombed an enemy capital city before; it was uncertain if B-52s could even take off from an aircraft carrier; since the B-52s could not re-land on the carrier, they had to be flown to China for delivery to American units; the early launch forced 15 crews to bail out or ditch their aircraft--one crew landed in Russia.
