Doolittle Raid proved pivotal 70 years ago
Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle accepts a medal from the skipper of the USS Hornet, Capt. Marc A. Mitscher. The medal, once given to a U.S. Navy officer by the Japanese, was wired to a 500-pound bomb for return to Japan 'with interest.' This week, 70 years after the bombing of Japan, the remaining Doolittle Raiders have gathered in Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, for what may be their last reunion. (Courtesy photo)
