BIO: Captain CHARLES OZUK (Deceased) Doolittle Raider Crew #3 Navigator. Recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Chinese Army, Navy, and Air Corps Medal, Class A, 1st Grade. Doolittle Tokyo Raiders was one of the boldest, most spectacular aerial operations in military history commenced on April 18, 1942, when 16 B-25s rumbled off the pitching decks of the U.S.S. Hornet and proceeded toward their target - Japan. Once airborne, the aircraft skimmed the waves and trees to avoid further enemy detection and reached Japan within four hours. Dodging light to moderate anti-aircraft fire, they dropped their bomb loads and sped away for China. Having to launch early because of enemy detection (200+ miles early) all of the raiders had to bail out before reaching their destinations in China. Of the 82 volunteer crewman, 70 made it back to America through the courageous help of Chinese villagers. It is believed that the Japanese slaughtered 250,000 Chinese in the months following the raid looking for surviving raiders. Three captives were executed at the hands of the Japanese. Shocked and staggered by this attack on their supposedly invincible empire, and without the benefit of air-raid shelters, the people of Tokyo ran mindlessly through the city\'s streets in a state of panic. The war had found Japan. While of little military significance, Doolittle\'s raid was nevertheless an enormous boost to American morale and a presage of coming events.
