"With Germany arming at breakneck speed, England lost in a pacifist dream, France corrupt and torn by dissension, America remote and indifferent... do you not tremble for your children?"Winston Churchill, 1935

This is Doolittle Crew #16 (16th to fly off Hornet). L to R they are: Lt George Barr (Navigator), Lt William G Farrow (Pilot), Cpl Jacob D DeShazer (Bombardier), Lt Robert L Hite (Co-Pilot), Sgt Harold A Spatz (Engineer/Gunner). All survived the mission after parachuting into China but were quickly captured by the Japanese. Lt Farrow and Sgt Spatz were executed by firing squad in 1942 while the other three survived to the end of the war as POW’s.
