With the 100th anniversary of his birth on September 7, 2015, Dick Cole has long stood in the powerful spotlight of fame that has followed him since his B-25 was launched from a Navy carrier and flown toward Japan just four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In recognition the tremendous boost Doolittle’s Raid gave American morale, members of the Tokyo Doolittle Raiders were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in May 2014. Doolittle’s Raid was only the opening act of Cole’s flying career during the war.

Everyone knows about the Dolittle’s raid and experiencing from Turner’s perspective only adds to the sense of boldness, daring and sacrifice of this element of the GREATEST GENERATION.
As a WWII history buff, I found his recollection of flying the hump and serving with the air commandos more interesting as events in these two theaters of war have received scarce coverage.
I amazed how so many of these WWII heroes have lived to their late 90’s or even past a 100. They exhibit such a strong life force.
I certainly recommend this book to anyone to learn more about the war against Japan especially in China Burma theater of operations.
