Zustand: Fair. Ted W. Lawson's classic Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo appears in an enhanced reprint edition on the sixtieth anniversary of the Doolittle Raid on Japan. One of the worst feelings about that time, Ted W. Lawson writes, was that there was no tangible enemy. It was like being slugged with a single punch in a dark room, and having no way of knowing where to slug back. He added, And, too, there was a helpless, filled-up, want-to-do-something feeling that the Japanese] weren't coming-that we'd have to go all the way over there to punch back and get even. Lawson gives a vivid eyewitness account of the unorthodox assignment that eighty five intrepid volunteer airmen-the Tokyo Raiders-under the command of celebrated flier James H. Doolittle executed in April 1942. The plan called for sixteen B-25 twin-engine medium bombers of the Army Air Corps to take off from the aircraft carrier Hornet, bomb industrial targets in Japan, and land at airfields in China. While the raid came off flawlessly, completely surprising the enemy, a shortage of fuel caused by an early departure, bad weather, and darkness took a heavy toll of the raiders. For many, the escape from China proved a greater ordeal. Peter B. Mersky provides new information on the genesis of the raid, places it in the context of the early operations against Japan, and updates Ted Lawson's biography.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this World War II classic, Captain Ted W. Lawson tells the story of America's legendary strike back on the Japanese Empire in one of the most daring missions in military aviation history: the legendary Doolittle Raid.After Pearl Harbor, America seemed to have lost the war before it had begun. Allied forces were being beaten across the Pacific by the Japanese military juggernaut, and morale was at the breaking point. America desperately needed to strike back at the enemy. For this, a corps of heroic volunteer fliers led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle began training to attack the very heart of the Japanese EmpireTokyo. To succeed, the 'Tokyo Raiders' would have to launch sixteen fully loaded B-25 twin-engine medium bombers off the deck of the aircraft carrier Hornetsomething never done beforeand land at airfields in China. Through courage and luck, the raid itself went flawlessly. But bad weather, lack of fuel, and darkness worked against many of the pilots and, for many, escaping China proved even more perilous than the mission. This gripping eyewitness account is hailed as 'the most stirring story of individual heroism that [the war] has so far produced' (The New York Times), featuring never-before-seen historical photos.…
