AIR FORCE FOOTBALL HONORING DOOLITTLE RAIDERS
Air Force football is honoring the Doolittle Raiders with the 2023 edition of the Air Power Legacy Series uniforms. The Falcons wore the uniform for the Navy game Oct. 21 in Annapolis, Md., and will wear them again this week at Hawaii.
The Doolittle Raiders were 80 pilots and crew of 16 B-25B Mitchell bombers who launched the Doolittle Raid April 18, 1942. Led by United States Army Air Force Lt. Col. James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle, the Raiders bombed selected targets in the Japanese capital of Tokyo and other military locations on the Japanese homeland. Planning for the Doolittle Raid began in January 1942, in response to the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. The plan featured 16 B-25B medium bombers, each with a crew of five, launched from the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, USS Hornet (CV-8). Running low on fuel after the bombing, the Raiders had to ditch their planes at sea, bail out, or crash land in China. Most of the Doolittle Raiders safely reached friendly forces and return to action. Lt. Col. Richard "Dick" Cole, Doolittle's co-pilot in the lead B-25 during the mission and last surviving member of the Doolittle Raiders, passed away at the age of 103 April 9, 2019.
