Doolittle: Aerospace Visionary (Brassey's Military Profiles)

Rating:
Summary: The range of his achievements lie far outside the war years
Review: Doolittle: Aerospace Visionary by biographer Dik Alan Daso is a close analysis of the life of famous World War II combat pilot James H. Doolittle. Yet the full range of his achievements lie far outside the war years; Jimmy Doolittle was the first person to complete a transcontinental United States flight in a single twenty-four hour period, and won trophies for his record-breaking high-speed flights. Doolittle's aviation skills, his thirst for adventure, his boundless determination, and his unabashed love and promotion of military and civilian aviation make for an informative, uplifting, and very highly recommended biographical profile.
