The Doolittle Tokyo Raiders 70^th Anniversary of the Raid and reunion will be held at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

On April 18, 1942, the Doolittle Raid was the first air raid by the United States to strike Japan during WWII.  By demonstrating that Japan itself was vulnerable to American air attack, it provided a vital morale boost and opportunity for U.S. retaliation after the horrible attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

The daring raid was planned and led by Lieutenant Colonel James “Jimmy" Doolittle.
