<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is Jimmy Doolittle. General Doolittle is one of the most important people of the 20th century. Besides being a daredevil flyer in the 20s and 30’s, he worked on high octane fuels at MIT. He also essentially invented instrument flying, telling the Press he would take off, fly around, and land – all without seeing the ground at all. His commanding officer said, “No you absolutely will not.”<br /><br />So Doolittle had a guy in the front cockpit, but he did in fact take off, fly around and land without seeing the ground. <br /><br />He led the Doolittle raid from the USS Hornet for which he received the Medal Of Honor. <br /><br />Later he commanded the 8th Air Force as it wrecked the German Air Force in 1944.

The GAF planes would dive straight through the formations at closing speeds of up to 600 mph. <br /><br />In the 303rd they taught very violent evasive maneuvers where the outer two B-17s in a vic of 3 might actually change position. <br /><br />The B-17 in the background is equipped with the "Mickey" radar bombing aid right behind the chin turret.

B-17 "T.S." crash lands at Manston after a collision with an FW-190 that hit the #3 engine at 500 mph. The FW flipped over the top of the Fortress, cut the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, and exploded. <br /><br />The crewman second from left is holding the barrel of a 20mm cannon found lodged in the radio room wall.
