On this day, 83 years ago, on April 18, 1942 (March 4, 1942 in the lunar calendar), the American Dolittle bomber formation made its first air strike on Tokyo. Dolittle sent a message to Japan on April 18, 1942. General Doolittle of the U.S. Air Force and his colleagues flew a lightning strike on the Japanese capital, Tokyo, and other cities. The air strike was carried out after the defeat of the Battle of Bataan. Although it did not cause much damage to Japan, it improved morale and the psychological victory was huge. Dolittle's B-25 bombers took off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet under the cover of a task force fleet commanded by Admiral William Halsey, located 600 miles off the coast of Japan. This air strike mission is quite dangerous. The aircraft all took off from the aircraft carrier and then participated in the attack. Dolittle said that when it flew over Japan, the plane flew very low, and "one of the planes even saw a ball game going on the ground." The bomb fell before the Japanese could react. They still do not understand how the attack was launched. President Roosevelt would not give them any clues. He said he believed the planes took off from Shangri-La. Dolittle's formation went to bomb Japan. In this air strike, Japan killed and injured 302 people, 90 factory buildings were destroyed, and 1 oil storage yard and 6 large oil depots were lost. Doolittle's air strike on Tokyo dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant Japanese warlords, giving Lien Chan's defeated allied forces hope for future victory. The plane of US pilot Doolittle, who was captured by the Japanese army, flew to the mainland of China after the air strike. After running out of fuel, the crew parachuted and landed in East China. China's anti-Japanese military and civilians risked their lives to rescue them. 64 crew members were safely sent to Chongqing from under the noses of the Japanese army, and only 8 were captured by the Japanese army. Half a century later, relevant personnel from China and the United States gathered together in one party to sing praises of this chapter of friendship forged with blood. 64 crew members arrived safely in Chongqing
