EGLIN AFB, FLA. – The remaining members of the famed Doolittle Raiders will hold their final public reunion, April 16-21, 2013, at Eglin Field, Florida, where they trained for their mission to bomb Japan on April 18, 1942.
In retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lt. Col. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle led a squadron of 16 Army B-25 bombers from the deck of the aircraft carrier Hornet, and bombed five major Japanese cities.
