Pilot, scholar, daredevil, general . . . James "Jimmy" Doolittle was one of America's greatest heroes.
In a life filled with adventure and achievement, Doolittle did it all.
- As a stunt pilot, he thrilled the world with his aerial acrobatics.
- As a scientist, he pioneered the development of modern aviation technology.
- During World War II, he served his country as a fearless and innovative air warrior, organizing and leading the devastating raid against Japan.
Now, for the first time, here is his life story--modest, revealing, and candid as only Doolittle himself can tell it. Doolittle tells a story of the successes and adventures, the triumphs and tragedies of a true American hero--a far-seeing leader whose courage, devotion, and daring changed the course of modern history . . . and continues to make its influence felt to this day.
