James Doolittle
James Doolittle was an American general and aviation pioneer best known for leading the Doolittle Raid, a daring bombing mission against Tokyo during World War II in April 1942. His audacious plan came as a response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and marked a significant turning point in the Pacific Theater of the war. Doolittle's leadership and strategic vision not only boosted American morale but also demonstrated the vulnerability of Japan to aerial attacks. He later became a prominent figure in military aviation and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery and innovative tactics.
