Apr 10, 2020 · Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo by Captain Ted W. Lawson, edited by Robert Considine. On April 18, 1942, Americans got some very welcome news: 16 North American B-25 Mitchell medium bombers had raided Tokyo and four other major Japanese cities in retaliation for the attack on Hawaii the previous December.
Apr 27, 2021 · ‘ Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo ‘ details the Doolittle-raid on Japan in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attacks and was actually one of four movies made by Hollywood during the 1940s relating to the U.S. military’s Dolittle Raid on Tokyo during WWII.
KIRKUS REVIEW. In competition with an extraordinary record of topnotch reporting, this personal record of the Doolittle raid over Tokyo stands out as one of the most stirring of them all. It is a grim reminder of what war in the Pacific means in terms of ""blood, sweat, toil and tears"". Ted Lawson piloted one of the planes.

It is written in the first person by an aviator who flew a B-25 bomber in Doolittle's raid on the Japanese capital. It is an artifact of the era in which it was written (the mentions of the Japanese are neither respectful nor politically correct).
