摘要

Ryearly March 1942,140 men from the 17th Bombardment Group, recently reassigned from Pendleton AAF, Ore., to Columbia AAB, S.C., had arrived at Eglin Field, Fla. They were there to prepare for one of the most dari ng and famous air missions of World War Ⅱ, an air attack on Japan. The mission was to raise American morale after months of doom-and-gloom news from the war fronts. Later known as the Doolittle Raiders, the men would spend three weeks at Eglin Field in preparation for their famous mission against Japan. After the Japanese attack on Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to retaliate. On Dec. 21, he asked for a plan to-in the words of Lt. Gen. Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Forces-bring "home to Japan proper, in the form of a bombing raid, the real meaning of war." By the end of January, Lt. Col. James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle. special assistant to Arnold, and Navy Capt. Francis S. Low, a submariner on the staff of Adm. Ernest J. King-commander in chief of the US Fleet and later Chief of Naval Operations-had independently concluded that an AAF B-25 Mitchell medium bomber could take off from a Navy carrier with a 3,000-pound bomb load and hit Japan. The crews could fly the 2,000 miles from a launch point 400 miles east of Japan, attack military targets, and safely reach bases in Chinese-held territory.
