Doolittle Raid | 18th April 1942 - World War 2 | FlashbackFriday

The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, was an air raid by the United States of America on the Japanese capital Tokyo and other places on Honshu Island during World War II! Executed on 18th April 1942, it’s the first air raid to strike the Japanese Home Islands. It demonstrated how vulnerable Japan was to American air attack, just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, as it provided an important boost to American morale while damaging Japanese morale. The raid was planned and led by Lieutenant Colonel James Harold "Jimmy" Doolittle, United States Army Air Forces.
