Item description from seller

Hardback. Bomber Commander. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Couple of small tears to bottom edge of D/J. General James Doolittle, leader of the 'Doolittle Raid' on Tokyo, commander of 'The Mighty Eighth' and much else besides, was one of the greatest fighting airmen of World War II. He made the first transcontinental flight that took less than twenty-four hours; he was the first American to fly the Andes; he received one of the first PhD's in aeronautical engineering. He worked on techniques and instruments for blind flights, and for longer and faster ones. He won countless awards for his breathtaking stunt flying. By the end of World War II, Doolittle was a three-star lieutenant-general, respected by Eisenhower and Churchill not only for the Tokyo raid, but also for his ideas on military air strategy. Above all, it was his vitality that attracted the attention of businessmen, military personnel and flying buffs, a spirit that still is sustained as he approaches eighty. Illustrated. 368 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). …
