17th Bombardment Group (Medium) became known 
as the ‘‘Doolittle Tokyo Raiders’’ for outstanding 
heroism, valor, skill, and service to the United 
States in conducting the bombings of Tokyo; 
(2) 80 brave American aircraft crewmen, led by 
Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, volunteered for 
an ‘‘extremely hazardous mission’’, without knowing 
the target, location, or assignment, and willingly put 
their lives in harm’s way, risking death, capture, and 
torture; 
(3) the conduct of medium bomber operations 
from a Navy aircraft carrier under combat condi-
tions had never before been attempted; 
(4) after the discovery of the USS Hornet by 
Japanese picket ships 170 miles further away from 
the prearranged launch point, the Doolittle Tokyo 
Raiders proceeded to take off 670 miles from the 
coast of Japan; 
(5) by launching more than 100 miles beyond

enough fuel to reach the designated air-fields in 
China on return; 
(6) the additional launch distance greatly in-
creased the risk of crash landing in Japanese occu-
pied China, exposing the crews to higher probability 
of death, injury, or capture; 
(7) because of that deliberate choice, after 
bombing their targets in Japan, low on fuel and in 
setting night and deteriorating weather, none of the 
16 airplanes reached the prearranged Chinese air-
fields; 
(8) of the 80 Doolittle Tokyo Raiders who 
launched on the raid, 8 were captured, 2 died in the 
crash, and 70 returned to the United States; 
(9) of the 8 captured Doolittle Tokyo Raiders, 
3 were executed and 1 died of disease; and 
(10) there were only 5 surviving members of 
the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders as of February 2013.
