THE DOOLITTLE RAIDERS by Robert Taylor signed by 14 Doolittle Raiders

Posted on March 21, 2021 by admin

Published specially to commemorate the historic’Doolittle’ raid on Tokyo, April 18, 1942. Doolittle Raiders take their B-25 bombers down to very low level and head for China after delivering their surprise attack on the industrial and military targets in and around Tokyo on April 18, 1942. At 8.20am on April 18, 1942, just four months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a small force of B-25 Mitchell bombers under the command of Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, took off from the aircraft carrier Hornet. Unlike any other mission before or since, the crews departed on their dangerous journey with the full knowledge that each was on a one-way ticket. They achieved all of these, and in so doing effected what became one of the most remarkable air raids of World War II. The orders were precise: At low-level, fly some 800 miles over water into hostile territory, without escort fend off attacks from air and ground fire over the target then, with insufficient fuel to make the return journey, fly the B-25s on towards China until the gas ran out. Then bail out, ditch, or crash-land, avoid capture, and somehow find a way home. Every man was a volunteer. Each knew the dangers. Some paid with their lives. Smoke plumes high in the air as following aircraft dodge the flak; With possibly the worst to come, the Doolittle Raiders head out into the unknown. Soon, with tanks empty, and in gathering darkness, eleven crews will bail out, three will ditch in coastal waters, and two will crash-land. Two crews will be taken prisoner; seven men will never return. The print is individually numbered and personally signed by the artist along with FOURTEEN. Pilots and crew that flew on the famous Doolittle Raid on that fateful day in April 1942. Jimmy Doolittles Co-Pilot, Crew #1 – Target Tokyo. Jimmy Doolittles Navigator, Crew #1 – Target Tokyo.

A STUNNING LIMITED EDITION BY ONE OF THE WORLDS FOREMOST AVIATION ARTISTS PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY DOOLITTLE RAIDERS. THE HORNET’S NEST. Doolittle confers with Capt. Mitscher on the bomber-laden deck of the U. Hornet as the fateful day that would become etched in history approaches. On the stormy morning of 18 April 1942, Doolittle would lead a force of sixteen specially modified B-25 bombers each with a crew of five men – off the heaving deck of the Hornet to strike military targets in the heart of Japan, giving America and its allies an important and badly needed morale boost in the wake of the destruction at Pearl Harbor. The plan was to hit their targets and then head for China to land their B-25s at predetermined airfields, as landing a medium bomber onto the Hornet would be impossible. However, after being discovered, the aircraft were forced to launch earlier than planned, meaning they would not have enough fuel to complete the return journey. Most crews bailed out, a few made water landings, and one crew diverted to land in Vladivostok, Russia, where they were interned by their Soviet allies. Eight men were captured and tortured by the Japanese, who executed three following a mock trial; Four of the POWs survived to return home. The thrilling story of Doolittles Tokyo Raiders is one most legendary and courageous missions of World War II. The print has been individually numbered and personally signed by the artist along with five veterans who flew on this iconic mission. Jimmy Doolittles Co-Pilot, Crew #1 – Target Tokyo. Pilot, Crew #5 – Target Tokyo. Flight Engineer/Gunner, Crew #7 – Target Tokyo. Flight Engineer/Gunner, Crew #10 – Target Tokyo. Navigator / Bombardier, Crew #9 -Target Tokyo.
