The Doolittle raid was one of the most famous raids in the history of WW2, mental scarring the Japanese, while not doing that much damage to the actual landscape.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt wanted to find a way to get back at Japan. A mission, which became known as the Doolittle Raid, was planned to strike back at Japan. Captain Francis Low of the U.S. Navy had an idea for bombers taking off from an aircraft carrier to bomb Japan. Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle was chosen to plan and lead the mission.

Looking back to World War II, nobody ever thinks about who contributed to the war and how he or she contributed whether it be money, work, or even his or her own life. Few people in Florida and even in our local area understand the important role Eglin Air Force Base played during World War II.
