Description

Destination: Tokyo by Stan Cohen presents a photographic and pictorial history of the famous Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942, one of the most significant early American operations of the Pacific War.

The raid sent 16 North American B-25 Mitchell bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet against targets in Japan. Led by Lt. Col. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, the mission provided an important morale boost to the United States only months after Pearl Harbor.

This heavily illustrated reference is particularly useful for scale modelers researching the aircraft, crews and equipment associated with the raid.

Excellent reference for:

• B-25 Mitchell model projects

• Doolittle Raid aircraft

• Early-war USAAF markings

• Aircraft weathering and operational details

• USS Hornet and carrier-deck dioramas

• Pacific War aviation research

• WWII aviation enthusiasts

• Military history book collectors

The photographic emphasis makes this a useful modeling-bench reference for anyone building a Doolittle Raid B-25B Mitchell or a related April 1942 diorama.
