Doolittle turns 95 as Pearl Harbor raid hero still admired
Pearl Harbor veteran Jimmy Doolittle, leader of the Tokyo raid, reaches 95 in Pebble Beach while memories fade. The 1942 B 25 mission boosted U S morale, demonstrated capability to strike Japan, and defined American resilience amid World War II. Doolittle will skip Fort Ord birthday events but remains engaged through correspondence and family support.
