1942 . . . The Tokyo Raid led by Jimmy Doolittle struck back against Japan on this day.
I was fortunate to make these photographs of the goblets which Doolittle had created to always make a note of that accomplishment.
Included in my new book. the 2nd printing in soft cover will be available in the fall.
