| The attack
on Pearl Harbor sunk America's morale along with
most of its fleet, leaving little to cheer in the
months that followed. One of the first bright spots
came in early 1942 when 16 B-25 bombers hit Tokyo
and three other Japanese cities. Though the raid,
led by Lt. Col. James "Jimmy" Doolittle
of the U.S. Army Air Corps, did little damage, its
value to the nation's morale was immeasurable. Still,
the government waited nearly a month to announce
this daring first strike on Japanese soil. Gabriel
Heatter, a national favorite on the Mutual Network,
provided one of the first reports. |
