Signed by Colonel Richard E. Cole (Jimmy Doolittle's Co-Pilot)
On 18 April 1942 Lt. Col. Cole (then Second Lt.) flew from the deck of the carrier USS Hornet on what would be one of the most daring raids on the empire of Japan during WW2. He was the co-pilot of a B-25B Mitchell Bomber (piloted by Lt. Col. James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle). His plane was one of 16 light bombers with a mission to bomb Tokyo and other key cities in Japan that day. This attack, America's first retalitory strike, would be so decisive that it would ultimately lead to the turning point of the war with the Japanese counter-attack and defeat at Midway in June of that same year.
