and other japanese cities had
been attacked from the air.
The first announcement then
came from the japanese and ~
was not until weeks later that
it was learned that a force OF
BIS Mitchell Bombers under
James II. Doolittle, then only a
lieutenant colonel but now d
lieutenant general commanding
the Eighth Air Force in Brit
ain, had carried out that adven-
turous mission.
The Mitchells flew from the
aircraft carrier Hornet ard az
ter crossing Japan flew on to
the continent. One landed in
eastern Siberia, the others in
China. Some Of them came
down in Japanese held territory
and few Of the filters were
taken captive. Months later the
Japanese themselves made it
known that some of these pris-
oners had been executed.
