This book, written in 1943, is an oldie but a goodie. I had always heard of it and finally decided to read it. This book is an eyewitness account of the 1942 Dolittle Raid over Tokyo. Sixteen B-25's bombed industrial targets in Japan at close range. The mission was a success and Captain Lawson's plane bombed its assigned targets in just 30 seconds.
