Tokoyo Fliers
On April 18, 1942, Airmen of the U.S. Army Air Forces, led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle (front row, right), carried the battle of the Pacific to the heart of the Japanese empire with a surprising and daring raid on military targets at Tokoyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Nagoya and Kobe. This historic attack against these major cities was the result of coordination between the Army Air Forces and the U.S. Navy, which carried the 16 North American B-25 medium bombers aboard the carrier USS Hornet to within take-off distances of the Japanese Islands.
