| The Doolittle Raiders On April 18,1942, just four months after the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, a small force of B-25 Mitchell bombers under the command of Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, took off from the deck of the US Aircraft Carrier Hornet. The sixteen planes made the first US attack of WWII on the Japanese homeland. While not causing extensive damage to the Japanese war effort, it caused major phychological damage, as they thought their country was invulnerable to attack. It also caused Japan to build up it's home defence forces, keeping those men and war material out of the war zone. Specially commissioned for the last Doolittle Raider's Reunion of the 20th Century, recently held at the American Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio, Robert Taylor's new limited edition is individually signed by no fewer than 14 famous Doolittle Raiders.
