Doolittle Raid
Doolittle Raid On 18 April 1942, Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle’s 16 US army B-25 bombers made the first Allied air attack on Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Nagoya after flying 600 miles from the carrier Hornet. One crew landed at Vladivostok and 15 crash-landed in or near China, where 69 airmen reached safety. US losses: 3 killed, 8 captured, and 3 prisoners executed by the Japanese. To prevent further US air raids from offshore Midway Island, Japan’s navy approved the operation that resulted in the battle of Midway.
