It was carried out on 18 April 1942 and was the first American attack on the Japanese homeland since the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941.The carefully planned raid was designed to boost morale after Pearl Harbour and demonstrate to the Japanese that they, too, were vulnerable to air attacks. Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle led the mission, which involved 16 modified B-25 Mitchell bombers launched from the USS Hornet, an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. The bombers were not designed for aircraft carrier operations, making the mission very risky.The bombers targeted several cities including Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and Kobe. Each aircraft carried a five-man crew and dropped incendiary and high-explosive bombs on military and industrial targets. After the bombing, the crew were to continue to China as they could not return to the aircraft carrier due to lack of fuel. 15 of the 16 bombers either crash-landed in China or were abandoned by their crew. One crash landed in Russia and was interned there. Out of the 80 crew members, 3 were killed during the raid, 8 were captured (3 were executed) and the rest escaped or rescued with the help of Chinese civilians.The raid embarrassed Japan's military leadership and prompted them to accelerate plans to attack the decisive Battle of Midway in June 1942, which became the turning point in the Pacific War.
