Title: Tall and free as meant by God
Description: Life story of William Glover "Bill" Farrow, the U.S. Army Air Corps pilot of the 16th plane on the famed Doolittle Raid against Tokyo in 1942. He was captured in China, tortured, tried and then was one of three Raiders illegally executed by the Japanese as a "war criminal." His remains are interred in Arlington National Cemetery. The letter he wrote to his family just before he was executed was discovered after the war in a Japanese military archive; his expression of unshakable faith in God became the inspiration to many Americans.
