General James Harold Doolittle - World War II national hero
as depicted in the movie, "30 Seconds Over Tokyo," Doolittle was
the recipient of the Medal of Honor for the first bombing strike against
mainland Japan, a holder of many early aircraft speed records, recipient
of the first doctorate ever in aeronautical engineering, a corporate and
military leader in aircraft development, and was instrumental in creating
the U.S. Air Force as a separate service. The "master of the calculated
risk," Jimmy Doolittle is a true Legend of Airpower.
