Summary

"James Doolittle and aviation grew up with the 20th century. He made the first transcontinental flight that took less than twenty-four hours; he was the first American to fly the Andes; he received one of the first Ph.D.s in aeronautical engineering. He worked on techniques and instruments for blind flights, and for longer and faster ones. He won countless awards for his breathtaking stunt flying, and he was a three-star lieutenant general by the end of World War II. Eisenhower and Churchill respected him not only for the daring Tokyo Raid which he led, but also for his ideas on military air strategy.Above all, it was his vitality that attracted the attention of businessmen, military personnel, flying buffs, and sociable people in general. That zest for life has kept Doolittle and his wife going strong even now, as they approach their eighties. It's that spirit that makes his biography more than just the story of an ace pilot."--
